Idyllwild Arts President Pamela Jordan established the Inaugural Founders Day on Saturday, June 25 2022 to celebrate the many artists, educators, philanthropists and supporters who have helped ensure that Idyllwild Arts became and will remain a unique and exhilarating artist community.

In the future, we will celebrate Founders Day with special programs and events to remember our founders, Dr. Max and Beatrice (Bee) Krone and others in the Idyllwild Arts community who left an indelible mark on our legacy.
