As Idyllwild Arts celebrates its 80th Anniversary, the spirit that began in 1946 with the founding of the Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts (ISOMATA) continues to thrive. From the vision of early pioneers like Ansel Adams and Bella Lewitzky to today’s global community of Citizen Artists, Idyllwild Arts remains dedicated to nurturing creativity that transforms lives.

This Giving Tuesday, Idyllwild Arts calls on its families, alumni, and friends to come together in support of the Annual Fund, which serves as the heartbeat of Idyllwild Arts.

Gifts made today sustain the programs and priorities that define the Academy’s mission. These include preserving the history of ISOMATA and honoring the founders’ creative legacy, expanding scholarship and meaningful access for students, investing in creative technology that empowers young artists to innovate, and maintaining the beautiful campus spaces where artistry flourishes.

Supporters who wish to make an even greater impact are invited to join the President’s Circle, which recognizes leadership donors who help shape the future of Idyllwild Arts each year.

This Giving Tuesday, every contribution, large or small, keeps the light of creativity burning brightly for the next generation.
