At the core of every artist is a personal vision. Idyllwild's Youth Arts Center gives students 13-18 the professional direction and focus to realize their inner artist through dance, music, theatre, visual arts, and creative writing. This immersive program, while demanding, provides a competition-free environment. An exceptional faculty works closely with each student, stressing individual growth while encouraging achievement. Of course, the Center also provides time to simply "blow off steam."
