The Artist's Path

Our Vision
The Artist’s Path will become a regional, national and international leader in the arts, building bridges between
cultures, exploring the source of artistic inspiration, discovering  the diversity within the artistic communities
of the world, all while examining the role of the artist in society and whether the artist can effect change.

Our Mission

The Artist's Path exists to encourage, support and showcase artists’ work while educating the public
concerning the role of the artist in society through annual events that examine the path of the artist
through specific disciplines and themes.

The Inaugural Event

The Artist's Path
through Conflict and Social Crisis
April 7 - 17, 2011


The purpose of this event in Prescott, AZ is to explore how artists respond to a world in conflict and social
crisis through the discipline of Playwriting.   It is hoped in some small way that the event will also serve
as a remembrance of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001
and remind us that Peace is always our goal.

Arizona playwrights will be invited to present new works in Playwriting addressing the above theme.  A
specially selected jury will evaluate the plays.  The winning entry will receive a cash prize and be staged at
the following year's event.    In its inaugural year The Artist's Path plans to present three plays and an
evening  of music as ticketed events. Ensuing years will see the addition of
other disciplines in the arts --Poetry, Music, Film, Visual Arts, Dance, and the Humanities--with a
different theme each year.  A division for artists in junior high and high school is also planned with
master classes for the students and the public.
