Arts, writing and dance
The Idyllwild Arts Academy, in the San Jacinto Mountains about 2½ hours east of Los Angeles, is a place to indulge your inner artist — or, perhaps, encounter it for the first time.
Students can sign up for workshops in a variety of activities, among them, sculpture, Native American arts, writing and dance. (We’ve got our eye on “Narrative Figure Painting” with Rebecca Campbell, offered June 26-30.) Tuition, which typically covers lab fees and materials, ranges from about $185 to $1,200.
Students can stay in on-campus dormitories (twoperson rooms are $545 per week per person and $335 per person for three days.) Off-campus housing is also available.
