EGAP is an international school dedicated to the study, development, creation and preservation of all forms and expressions of Art. Its main purpose is to provide education, experience, opportunity and performance to the Artist and community regardless of ability or age.
The school’s location is in Occidental, California, and is composed of three parts: The Temple of the Arts, the Campo Sagrado, an outside fire circle and Urucaia, located under the “fairy ring” of old growth redwoods. These sacred lands are the home of classes, workshops, performances and retreats as well as traditional rituals to support and fortify the land and it’s inhabitants.
EGAP offers its own classes, workshops, events and retreats as well as rents the spaces to other artists or groups who would like to host their own events.
