[close] [THIS IS A RE-VAMP OF MY OLD GROUP, MISTY VALES ACADEMY] it wouldn't let me delete the old group, so i'm just starting over here. students from around the world are invited to join this academy when they display promising talent in an arts field, including both visual and performing arts. when students graduate, they are either allowed to remain at the academy for more advanced training or return to their home country and try to begin a career. the academy is secluded in the forest, but the town is a short bus ride away, which students can visit on weekends.

[close] The Academy for Artists is located in south side Chicago. The goal upon creation was to create a diverse group of artists who would be able to unite the city through the power of art. The creators wanted to prove that yes, Chicago was rapidly being referred to as "Chiraq", but also yes, it is capable of providing the best, most talented artists to be seen. It's a conservatory based program, focusing primarily on four fields, Visual Arts, Theatre, Dance and Music.
