Background
Joy Brown, General Art Director
Sveinbjorg Alexanders, School Director

Dame Margot Fonteyn d’Arias envisioned an international fine arts institution in which all of the arts would be studied under one roof.

Her belief was that young artists of divergent fields of expression would enter into conversations about the core issues of art (expression, interpretation, focus, et cetera), and would consequently develop a deeper understanding of the artistic purpose of their endeavors.

She and Ken Ludden worked together to develop this concept for the last twelve years of her life, but died before the institution could be built.
