OUR GOAL is to facilitate the integration of human creativity with virtues of hope and love through art.
OUR PURPOSE is to offer a safe and sacred space for participants to nurture and nourish their imagination.
OUR PROGRAMS encourage and promote art education and appreciation in the city of Sedona and surrounding communities, nurture the growth and development of the arts by serving the needs of artists of all types, and connect the art and the artists with the community and visitors of the Sedona area
Although recently created, the Sacred and Profane Art Academy is a repository of many years of experience in managing, educating, organizing, and conducting community-based events. Many of our facilitator instructors are retired educators and active artists. We offer both intergenerational and group workshops as well as individually guided instruction.
