Location

Wildwood Home for the Arts is located at the beautiful and historic Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA. Originally built in 1947 on Montecito's oceanside, the Academy plays host to world-class summer festivals, masterclasses, instrumentalists, and singers.

Wildwood holds the practice of art as an ongoing experience and an end in itself. This engagement unlocks in us an expansive perspective on life, its joys and challenges, applicable to the arts and beyond.

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful implanted in the human soul.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
