Scissortail Art Center
There are a few recurring themes on The Aesthetic Elevator, one of them being my thoughts on establishing a retreat (or colony or center depending on your vernacular) for artists of faith. This idea now has it’s own website: ScissortailArtCenter.org.

This sense of need is real. Remember it’s importance has already been verified. You are an artist, and you feel it. I, though not “an artist” (just creative), feel it, too.

What do you think about someplace in the Sand Hills ?
Nissa,
Ideologically the Sandhills could be a perfect fit. We haven’t given them much consideration up to this point though since we wanted to keep the property within 90 miles or so of a viable commercial airport in order to make it easier for artists to get to the retreat (or for us to pick them up and tote them to the property). Grand Island has recently improved their air service though, which would make the Sandhills more of a possibility.
Do you have a place in mind?
i also have thought about this idea myself and would be ecstatic to join as well. DO IT! please…its what the world needs for sure!
