“The enduring legacy of a classical education is not just an appreciation of great accomplishments and styles of the past, but is realized in providing a crucial foundation from which to develop outside the classroom and, most importantly, for the rest of our lives.” ~ Brandon Soloff

Sculptor Stephen Perkins demonstrates an ecorche skull
During this period, on the evening of March 10th , sculptor Stephen Perkins will be delivering an illustrated lecture on the history and artistic influences behind his own work. Both artists bring a wealth of experience to the revival of classical training and offer a unique opportunity to enrich the philosophy that guides our studies.
