Greetings!
Did you know...

 

...that two long-time and well-respected faculty members are leaving Idyllwild Arts? Anna Li and Gary Gray have been an integral part of this community and in the development of Idyllwild Arts Academy. They will be dearly missed.
  
A tribute fund has been organized in their honor.  A classroom and a campus trail will be named for Gary and Anna.
We believe both will serve as permanent reminders of the strong legacy Anna and Gary have created here.
Donations will also support the academic programs that have meant so much to both. We have set up an easy way for you to honor their legacy. Please donate here
