Last week the Visual Arts and Songwriting students

Last week the Visual Arts and Songwriting students had the incredible opportunity to exhibit their work and perform for a live audience at @melissamorganfineart on El Paseo in Palm Desert. The gallery showcased 40 works by 28 student artists, with all available for purchase. After the gallery opening, the Songwriting students performed original works to a rapt audience as dusk fell on the outdoor sculpture garden. Opportunities like this give students the chance to get an authentic taste of the professional arts world, and set the Idyllwild Arts experience apart.

After a decade of service as Dean of Academics, Assistant Head of School, and Head of School, Marianne Kent-Stoll will retire from Idyllwild Arts Academy on June 30. She will work full-time for Karimu International Help Foundation, which she founded with her husband, Don Stoll, who works in the Idyllwild Arts Marketing and Admission offices. Join us on Friday, May 20th at 7:00pm in William M. Lowman Concert Hall to celebrate Marianne’s illustrious career as a teacher and educational leader. This event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Please RSVP by emailing Rose Colella, Special Events Manager, Office of The President at rcolella@idyllwildarts.org.

Idyllwild Arts celebrates the musical contribution

Idyllwild Arts celebrates the musical contributions of trans singer/songwriter @coyotejoestevens (IAA InterArts ’00) to a new folk/country musical. "The Civility of Albert Cashier," which opens today and boasts a cast and creative team of transgender and gender expansive artists, tells the story of a Union soldier in America’s Civil War who was assigned female at birth but claimed his gender before enlisting. As part of its 20-night benefit series, the Trans Entertainment Guild will host staged concert readings of the musical beginning tonight at 7 PM. The event will be among the first showcases with a cast and creative team completely comprised of transgender and gender expansive artists in New York theatre history. Learn more at the link in our bio!

Congratulations to @mykamorton on the completion o

Congratulations to @mykamorton on the completion of her AEL project. Myka's AEL grant helped pay for materials for her mechanized sculpture, "Arch(etype) Angel." In her artist statement, Myka shares: “In the Bible, Seraphim are described as petrifying ethereal entities with several eyes, wings and other mysterious features. Yet, today if you give a human form a pair of white wings, people will call her an angel. My intention with creating Arch(etype) Angel was not biblical accuracy or a cliche portrayal. Partially retaining the Bible’s eerie description of angels while adding elements of the contemporary angel’s beauty is my attempt to show how time fabricates beauty in certain aspects of life while tarnishing it in others.” Any current students interested in doing an AEL student project of their own should reach out to Jonathan Wickremasinghe-Kuhn, Director of AEL. Learn more about AEL at the link in our bio!

This #InternationalJazzDay we celebrate the many i

This #InternationalJazzDay we celebrate the many incredible Jazz performances and musical experiences provided by our Music students, faculty, and visiting artists this school year. The IAA Jazz program prepares instrumental students as both performers and arrangers, with performance opportunities ranging from on-campus Combos and Ensemble concerts and recitals, to a variety of prestigious venues and festivals off campus. Students engage in both traditional and progressive Jazz studies of improvisation, rhythm section skills, and technique from esteemed faculty and visiting artists, along with theory, history, and computer music applications. Jazz students receive weekly private instruction on their main instrument, a weekly combo lesson, and can choose from a number of electives as well as rhythm section classes for piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Learn more at the link in our bio!

It's #GreatPoetryDay, and what better way to celebrate than with warm congratulations to graduating senior Bella Koschalk! They have capped a school year filled with publications and accolades by being named the recipient of two major literary awards. Bella, a four-year IAA Creative Writing major from Baltimore, has taken third place in the Seventh Annual @narrativemag High School Writing Contest for their poem, “Drills,” and is winner of the @poetry_society of America's Student Poetry Award for “Found a Mother.” Of “Found a Mother,” the Pushcart-nominated writer Shira Erlichman observes that “From the onset. . . this poem shakes our universe” and that by the end, “I found myself delirious with gratitude.”

We are so excited to welcome Craig Sellers to our Idyllwild Arts community! Craig, pictured here with his family, will serve as Interim Head of School for the 2022-2023 school year, beginning in July. With current Head of School Marianne Kent-Stoll retiring from education, a capable hand is needed until a new Head is hired next year, and Sellers’ twenty-one years at the helm of three independent schools make him an outstanding choice for the Interim role. He is eager to share the “sense of wonder” that he sees at Idyllwild Arts. Read more at the link in our bio!

Happy #EarthDay! Today on campus we celebrated with a special event organized by the @iaaenviroclubb, one of Idyllwild Arts' most longstanding student organizations that has been advocating for environmental protection for generations. Their hope is that the climate education they provide on campus continues to grow as IAA students move on to all corners of the world. Highlights of today's festivities included a fix-it booth and clothing exchange to bring attention to the issues of fast fashion and change perspectives about disposability.

Huge congratulations to Nanibah Chacon (Diné/Xica

Huge congratulations to Nanibah Chacon (Diné/Xicana), whose solo exhibition "SPECTRUM" just opened at @sitesantafe. Last spring, @nanibah served as a "virtual" artist-in-residence with our Visual Arts students, and incorporated their designs and input into creation of the "Menyille (Moon Maiden)" classroom mural pictured above. Her new exhibition, open through August 21st, contains 10 large-scale paintings and a survey of Chacon’s public murals and personal archive, drawing inspiration from traditional Diné creation mythology blended with Chacon’s own experiences as a contemporary Indigenous artist. Check it out at the link in our bio!
