Since 1946, Idyllwild Arts has served as a respite

Since 1946, Idyllwild Arts has served as a respite for artists. Dr. Max and Mrs. Beatrice Krone believed that people of all backgrounds should come together to experience the arts.

This vision led to the creation of our picturesque campus, located within a tranquil pine forest. It also facilitated the development of life-changing educational opportunities for artists of all ages through Idyllwild Arts’ Academy, Summer Program, and Native American Arts Center.

Our inspiring community awaits your imagination. Enroll today. 🌎

The annual Visual Arts Junior Show celebrates the evolving creativity and talents of the 11th grade Visual Arts majors at Idyllwild Arts Academy. Building upon foundational concepts of art and design, students in their Junior year are developing their vision on a more precise scale - by honing technical skills in advanced studio courses and exploring ideas for their senior capstone projects. The Junior Show previews the next wave of creativity, and reminds us that artistic expression, when properly encouraged and allowed room to grow, is truly limitless.

Today on Martin Luther King Jr. day and every day,

Today on Martin Luther King Jr. day and every day, Idyllwild Arts educates citizen artists who seek to change traditional structures both within and outside the arts. We strive to eliminate systemic biases that target people of color and cultural and ethnic groups who have, both historically and presently, been disenfranchised and disempowered. Today, we reaffirm our dedication of resources and time to continue the never-ending work of building an inclusive community. Read more about Idyllwild Arts' commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at the link in our bio.

Bringing the science and art worlds together at #I

Bringing the science and art worlds together at #IdyllwildArtsAcademy! 🎨🔬 Last semester, students had the opportunity to express their biology knowledge through an artistic lens instead of taking a traditional final exam, if they so chose. The final art projects required students to invest 4-8 hours of work and use their technical skill in their art to interpret an idea in biology. The projects were presented to their peers during class time and evaluated on legitimate artistic merit and scientific content. Learn more about our academic curriculum at the link in bio!

Registration is open now for our ESL & Art Intensive Summer Program, which combines English, art, theatre, dance, and nature into one immersive experience. Because real language progression takes place when students are exposed to language in multiple contexts and situations, this course gets non-native English speakers to explore their linguistic and artistic sides, whether or not they identify as artists. Build lifelong friendships with other like-minded teenagers while improving English communication skills together! Learn more and register at the link in bio.

A Message from IAF President Pamela Jordan: It is

A Message from IAF President Pamela Jordan:

It is with deep sadness that I share with you that Carolyn Lowman passed away in Coronado, CA, on January 6, 2023.
.
Carolyn is known and cherished by the entire IA community and everyone who had the privilege to know her. When IA was founded, Carolyn played several key roles including Dean of Students and founder of IA's library. Her most impactful role might have been in the classroom as an ESL instructor. Her former students are quick to share that her high standard and care for them as students and English learners played a key role in the successful lives they now lead as professional artists and business professionals who work and serve around the world. Carolyn's full obituary is available at the link in our bio.
.
Carolyn is survived by her husband Bill (founder of Idyllwild Arts Academy), her son Nate and wife-to-be Rachel, grandson Wallace, and sister Mary Soule. In lieu of a memorial service, Carolyn's ashes will be distributed to friends and family across the country for mini celebrations of her life. Idyllwild Arts will celebrate Carolyn's life at its annual Founders Day on June 24, 2023. Bill has generously invited people to make donations in Carolyn's memory to the Idyllwild Arts Foundation, P.O. Box 38, Idyllwild CA, 92349.
.
Our thoughts are with Bill, Nate, their entire family, and everyone who loved and cherished Carolyn Marie Soule Lowman.
