Description: The Aegean Center for the Fine Arts has been in operation since 1966. The philosophy of the school is to provide foreign students of the arts a classically based small-group alternative to the dominant large school style of education in two of the world's most compelling locations - the Greek island of Paros and the Italian Tuscan Province of Pistoia. The center accepts a maximum of 24 students into each of its two programs. Accreditation is organized through two American Colleges. The Early Greeks thought that to marvel was the beginning of knowledge and when we cease to marvel we will be in danger of ceasing to know.

Highlights: Study painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, art history, creative writing, literature & vocal music in Greece and Italy. Small group study environment. Fully accredited. Single studio apartments in Greece. 16th century villa in Tuscany, Italy. The Aegean Sea, Paros Island Greece.
