Share the Love tour a success!
The 2011 Artmonk Share the Love tour was an enormously rewarding experience in feeling the Artmonk connections all across the U.S. Read Iwona’s report of where we traveled and what the trip was like from the inside.

New Year’s Artmonk Retreat inspiring, invigorating
In the first weeks of 2011, 26 Artmonks headed down to the Mojave Desert to spend a silent week at the Integratron with Joel & Michelle Levey to further investigate the relationship between creativity & spiritual practice. Full retreat experience here, video coming soon.
Non-profit status official!
You may be thinking: “I thought the Art Monastery was already a non-profit!” We have been in the process of applying for 501(c)3 non-profit tax status in the U.S. for the last few years. Before, tax-deductible donations were processed via our fiscal receiver, Fractured Atlas, who took a small commission of each donation for their services. Now you can make a tax-deductible donation directlys to Gli Amici dell’Art Monastery. This is a huge milestone for the Project and will mean lots of increased benefits for the AMP, our artists, & our supporters. Heartfelt thanks and giant gratitude to Niqui Bott, Edie Heller, Leah Hofkin, and Jim Marketos for your indespensible help on the application.
