The Art Monastery is an epic life-as-artwork that takes the form of a community of Artmonks who apply the discipline and shared values of monastic life to the creative process. Founded in 2008, the Art Monastery aims to cultivate personal awakening and cultural transformation through community, creativity, and contemplation. This monumental social sculpture creates sacred spaces for artists* to authentically connect with their inner voices and with nature. The first eight years of the project took place in various monasteries in Italy and is currently centered in a farm in Springfield, Vermont.
