Project Overview
The Academy of Art, Creativity and Consciousness offers innovative courses that use art and creative process as vehicles for personal transformation and spiritual growth. We produce concerts, dance & theater performances and many other cultural events. We serve as a nucleus of creative and artistic endeavors for the local and international community.
Creating a Nexus of Art, Culture & Consciousness for the world
Though our programs thrive, we lack a dedicated space and by virtue of our expansion this has reached a critical threshold. For several years we have anticipated the availability of an ideally located warehouse building immediately adjacent to Ananda. This building is now available and we are moving forward quickly to create a center for art, culture and consciousness in Europe.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a physical home for the manifestation of these ideals:
A Nexus of Art, Culture & Consciousness in Europe
- A gathering place for artists & troubadours of -transformation who serve the awakening of higher consciousness in humanity.
- A place of connection for the emerging field of Art & Consciousness
A Teaching Center offering classes in all modalities of the Arts
- Taught from the perspective of consciousness in the arts.
- Certifications in 'Transformative Arts Process'
A Cultural Center and venue for performance and exhibition
- Serving both a local and international community
- Offering concerts, performances and events
- Hosting symposiums to explore the emerging culture & consciousness,
An Onsite and Online Gallery for an international Network of Awakening Artists
- In synergy with an online community & resource network
- Promoting collaborative projects, traveling exhibitions, etc.
Transforming a Space
The building offers a spacious main room with high ceilings and an earthen terrace that overlooks a stunning vista of Umbrian countryside. There is ample room for parking as well as a sculpture garden.
Adjacent to Ananda Europa, it is an ideal location. Ananda is an international destination drawing thousands of guests. Umbria is famous for its treasures of art and seminal role in the Italian Renaissance. The nearby town of Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis, is a center of spiritual pilgrimage as well as a gathering place for many international ecumenical and peace movements. Here in this historically salient province, we are planting the seeds of a new global renaissance.
With a few improvements we can have an inspiring studio for classes and a spacious gallery for exhibition and performance.
With a relatively small amount of money, this simple space can be transformed into a thriving center of art and culture.
The process has already begun with the replacement of the roof and improvement of the drainage systems, installation of the ceiling and portioning walls, basic electric and plumbing, etc. As the owner's portion of improvements draws to a close, we must step forward to complete the project. This will include painting the interior and exterior, landscaping, the installation of the gallery hanging and lighting system, studio sink & shelves, etc.
