Fire & Earth will be offering two fundamental types of programs, each with a range of options:

Our Immersion Experiences offer artists much more than the traditional classroom experience.

Master teachers, recognized experts in their fields, will lead intensive, two, three and five-day workshops, mentoring students individually and in groups. These teachers will drive instructional content via their unique expertise and teaching styles, in dynamic interaction with students.

In content and focus, classes will range the gamut from sculpture and drawing to painting and mixed media, all framed within a value-centric context.

Students will live in the academy's shared-dormitory spaces, each with kitchenette and attached studio, where they may work at any hour.

When their experience is over, students will leave with an extended network of artistic allies, and the knowledge that they are part of a larger cultural movement, reaffirming the ideals that define the history of visual arts.
