OUR VISION
To create a centre for art education and appreciation that attracts and
harnesses the high-level development of proven artists from many art forms and many
countries in order to immerse artists, teachers and students in an intense atmosphere of
pioneering thought, inspiration and creativity, thereby allowing learning to happen through
pleasure, epiphany and elation in Beauty.
Away from pressures created by the marketplace, talented and inspired singers, painters,
writers, dancers, art historians, musicians, theatre directors, sculptors will teach the visual
arts. This rich cross-disciplinary, cross-pollinating environment will teach by inspiration,
osmosis and enlightenment, more than by technical means. We will seek
artists of other art forms not for diversion, but for concentration: for the seed that they
hold, demonstrating and releasing Beauty just by their being, their life-time study and
devotion, passing this spark on to the next
generation for further development and refinement. Visual arts will be taught encompassing,
aesthetics, art history, art
therapeutic techniques and practical skills.
