Leading up to #GivingTuesday, we are sharing glimp

Leading up to #GivingTuesday, we are sharing glimpses of the many ways Idyllwild Arts positively impacts our community. Shaliyah Ben, Director of our Native American Arts Program, says “IAA is a homecoming for me. This is where my creative spirit was born as a young child each summer in Children's Center. It's where I am honored to live and work among Cahuilla relatives. It's where I'm looking forward to a bright future.” Consider giving in honor of #NativeAmericanHeritageDay and designating your gift for the Native American Arts program! Link in bio.

Leading up to #GivingTuesday, we're sharing glimpses of the many ways Idyllwild Arts positively impacts our community, because your generous gift in any amount helps make this magic possible! Amira Kopeyeva, 11th Grade Film & Digital Media Major, says "IAA for me is about transformation. It is about getting to know yourself better every day. It is about mastering the art you are passionate about all day long. It is about a place where you and your craft are welcomed, accepted and supported. It is about astonishing nature, cozy evenings in the pines with a hot cup of pumpkin spiced tea. It is about like-minded and inspiring people around. It is about home." Giving link in our bio 🙏

This Monday’s #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth artis

This Monday’s #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth artist spotlight is dedicated to renowned Cahuilla Basketry maker and Native American Arts Summer Faculty, Rose Ann Hamilton. Rose Ann started as a student in the Cahuilla Basketry workshop taught by instructor Donna Largo. After Largo’s passing in 2009, Rose Ann (by then an accomplished basket maker), stepped in to continue the legacy of basketry teaching at Idyllwild Arts. In recent years, Rose Ann has also been a guest speaker and instructor at the Academy. Her most recent collaboration with Diné/Xicana muralist Nanibah Chacon and IA Visual Arts students culminated with the completion of a large-scale mural on campus, entitled "Menyille."

Why confine PE to a gym when your campus looks like this? Our students recently enjoyed a guided hike on one of the many trails found in our 205 acres of forest in the San Jacinto mountains. #NationalHikingDay reminds us to enjoy the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of exercising outdoors.

The Idyllwild Arts DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclus

The Idyllwild Arts DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging) Collaborative is committed to facilitating the growth of a respectful community and a culture that encourages the free and open exchange of ideas, cultivates personal growth, and nurtures interdependence. On this #InternationalDayofTolerance, we are reminded that our differences are what make us special and our shared experiences bond us together. By taking the time to understand and respectfully learn about cultural differences, we can become better allies. Our DEIB flag, displayed prominently in the dining hall, reminds us of this daily.

Just in time for planning a respectful and meaning

Just in time for planning a respectful and meaningful Thanksgiving celebration, we are excited to share that today marks the release of New Native Kitchen, the new cookbook by Chef Freddie Bitsoie (Diné), former Executive Chef of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and esteemed Summer Faculty at Idyllwild Arts. A celebration of Indigenous cuisine, the new book by @fjbits showcases the variety of flavor and culinary history on offer from coast to coast, providing modern interpretations of 100 recipes that have long fed this country. We are excited to welcome Chef Bitsoie back for our 2022 summer program, and stay tuned for a new podcast later this year featuring Chef Bitsoie in conversation with IAF President Pamela Jordan. Check the link in our bio for resources on where to buy it from an Indigenous-owned bookstore!

Today's #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth Artist Spotli

Today's #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth Artist Spotlight is dedicated to @ramsonlomatewama, an award-winning Hopi glass artist, Katsina doll carver, and poet. His way of experiencing the world through the arts is a clear reflection of his rich heritage and the timeless culture of the Hopi people. We also love Ramson’s sense of humor that always brings fun into the classroom!

Yesterday the InterArts department welcomed studen

Yesterday the InterArts department welcomed students and faculty to experience "Welcome Home," a walk-through installation on the subject of HOME. They transformed IA Hall into a home-like environment reflective of the department's multi-discipline approach to the arts. Visitors had the experience of posing for their own family photos, commissioning a personal poem, checking out a new mural, watching a dance performance, playing games, enjoying baked goods, spending time in a fort filled with cozy cushions, and watching a documentary on what home means to different members of our community.

Today’s #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth Artist Spot

Today’s #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth Artist Spotlight is dedicated to two sisters who have taught at Idyllwild Arts for well over 20 years: Barbara Teller Ornelas (Diné) and Lynda Teller Pete (Diné). The sisters teach Navajo Weaving I and II each year during the Summer Program, and our Summer 2022 session will offer a Navajo Weaving III class! These two master weavers embody the essence of the Native American Arts Program and alongside the beautiful textiles they create, have also woven together a community that is passionate about Diné (Navajo) Weaving. Check out the link in our bio, which dives into their history here at Idyllwild Arts!

Tonight, the Idyllwild Arts Theatre Department ope

Tonight, the Idyllwild Arts Theatre Department opens its mainstage season with a production of "Fools" by Neil Simon, performed for the campus community and student families. "Fools," a comedy, explores the topsy-turvy world of an Idyllic Ukrainian town where everyone is stupid. Leon Tolchensky has 24 hours to turn the 200 year old curse around, or else he will suffer the same fate. IAA's Theatre Department first performed "Fools" in 1998. Scroll to see pics from both the past and current productions.

Ceramics faculty Jasmine Peck's work was recently

Ceramics faculty Jasmine Peck's work was recently selected for the Workhouse Arts Center's 11th Annual Clay International exhibition, which represents the depth and breadth of contemporary functional and sculptural ceramic artworks being created throughout the country. Jasmine characterizes her creative practice as "an intersection of material studies and sculptural ceramics. I utilize the human body as a site for exploration of cultural norms, bodily functions, and ideals around beauty and the grotesque." Check out the exhibit online at the link in our bio!
