Idyllwild Arts hosted it's Annual Gala Fundraiser at the Millenium Biltmore Hotel this past Sunday. LA Times contributor and society columnist Ellen Olivier covered the event and posted this article on her website

said she and Mann grew up at the right time for their life in the arts - the birth of the rock era - but in looking around at the students, she confessed, "I wish I were a teenager again."

She then said, "To be given the chance to pursue your creative passion whether it be film, or dance, or theater, or music, or writing, and be surrounded and supported by your parents and your teachers, and in the presence of your creative peers is a gift and an opportunity that very few have. 

Idyllwild Arts President Brian D. Cohen is pleased to announce the selection of Dr. Julia Bucci as Dean of Academics for Idyllwild Arts Academy effective in June of 2012. Julia replaces Anna-Karin Li, who has been instrumental in strengthening the academic program at Idyllwild Arts. Julia comes to IA form the Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts, where she has been Chair of the English Department since 2005.

Idyllwild Arts wants to say thank you to the wonderful group EarthWitness who organized a very successful fundraiser for Idyllwild Arts Students towards their new sustainability program. The fundraiser, hosted by Quiet Creek Gallery, raised $1,418 dollars. These funds were generated in part by artists from the community who participated and supported this program -  Brian Cohen, Cate, Don Reed, Roger Dutton , Joann Tomsche and George Companiott. Other sponsors and support was received from Middleridge Winery, Melissa Lynch and Mountain Harvest Market.

Our Environmental Studies class, all seniors, traveled to Anza Borrego State park, the largest in California, early Saturday morning, March 3rd. The students, many of whom had never camped out, had highly anticipated the trip, yet were hesitant and slightly suspicious of my motives for taking them camping in the arid, abandoned and seemingly lifeless desert.
