The Alkion Center successfully conducted an Arts Year program [as described below] in 2021-22 with seven full and part time students. Due to low enrollment for 2022-23, the program has been put on hold. Those interested for 2023-24 should inquire directly with Patrick Stolfo.

How does the day work? For example, after taking part in the clay sculpture during the first 9 week semester, you would continue with the themes introduced there [or your own] and work with them further with Patrick’s support and guidance during the two ’studio’ classes that follow on that day. The same process would be followed in the 2nd semester when you are working with Martina in painting and drawing. In the third session you’ll continue to work on 2D or 3D [or eurythmy!] projects of your own choice, culminating in a final presentation/exhibition.
Tuition for the full Arts Year of 3 sessions is $2,925. Fee for 1 or 2 nine week, full day sessions – $1,000.00 per session. Standard materials fees are included, but additional costs related to your personal projects will be your responsibility.
Contact Patrick Stolfo directly if you have an interest and/or questions.
