The How
-
Funding
Fundraising is the first step. We will be calculating how much money we need for the following: 2 years of funding of programs and staff, property, and salaries. We will be fundraising through applying for various grants, sponsorships, and events.
-
Build it.
This phase of the business will be either purchasing of a property with the buildings we need to operate or building what we need. We will also begin our hiring process once we have a facility.
-
Service
This stage of development will be when our facility is open. At which time we will begin our art retreat programs ranging from 7-21 day retreats.
We are looking at hosting traditional art forms such as:
Watercolor
Painting
Book Making
Sketching
Calligraphy
Writing
Additionally, we are looking at alternative art forms such as:
Carpentry
Wood burning/Wood carving
Stained Glass
Photography
Music
Pottery
What kind of programs?
Program format
Programs will range in length of time from 1 to 3 weeks at a time. These will include a travel day on both ends of the retreat. The mornings will have instructions with the teacher. Afternoons will be open studio time for practicing individually but in studio with the group. Additionally, participants will be able to explore the property which will have trails and a meditative labyrinth. All transportation will be provided for from the airport.
