tending the creative spirit
Art. Imagination. Mystery.
Our roots & branches
We cultivate spaces where the arts flourish.
Through our online intentional community, we help artists network, collaborate, and share practices that help them maintain a healthy balance between their creative work and their lives.
In 2007, we were among the very first to offer online MFA-quality poetry workshops. Today, choose from thoughtfully curated Zoom, online, in-person and self-paced workshops across the arts spectrum.
From an one hour consultation to an ongoing relationship, we’ve vetted a consortium of master mentors who want to help you stay grounded in your practice and attain what success looks like for you.
Through our press, online magazine, and community, we give artists opportunities to share their vision and art with the world.
We hold 4K volumes of poetry, freely accessible to the public and lendable to members for a nominal annual fee. We specialize in single-author collections and hold a large amount of rare and out-of-print titles.
We hold retreats in inspiring locations with master teaching artists to help artists make headway on personal projects. We also craft community-wide arts events that uplift and revive the creative spirit.
We partner with high schools to offer multidisciplinary arts workshops and education.
We secure scholarships for our arts education offerings for those in need.
We believe art is one of the most effective ways to change minds. We sponsor art-centered projects that promote social justice.
