Dear ESSA Friends - In 2018, the Eureka Springs School of the Arts (ESSA) celebrated 20 years of art and fine craft in the uniquely beautiful environment that we call home. The incredible growth of our campus - from a “school without walls” to a campus of over 50 acres with 7 teaching studios - is thanks to the countless individuals who have been inspired to give their time, money, creativity and heart to make ESSA the premier art school that it is today. As we grow into our third decade, we continue to welcome total newcomers to art and fine craft, as well as professional artists and craftspeople. We are fortunate to have internationally renowned working artists visiting our campus to teach, with whom a student of any experience level can study. Whether you spend every day in a studio, or have never set foot in one - ESSA’s workshops are for you! When you visit ESSA, you will leave inspired and energized by the spirit of the school, and equipped by the power of creativity with a new lens through which to view the world, your community, and yourself. I hope to see you in 2019!
