For students whose homes, schools, families, and communities have been impacted by the recent devastating wildfires, Idyllwild Arts Academy is offering an opportunity for self-expression, creativity, hope, and healing. We welcome students, ages 13-17, to join us on our beautiful mountaintop campus to experience a day of art, reflection, and relaxation.

Idyllwild Arts Academy’s intimate size, scale, and deliberately secluded location provides a welcoming sanctuary for self-discovery. Our intentionally-founded respite for creators has fostered thousands of artists united in the belief that art is the greatest teacher of humanity, and that art itself is not the sole outcome of a creative life, but rather the means to constant and necessary growth.
