Summer Lovin’

gratitude for a great season

Thanks to the generous donors, hard-working volunteers, talented collaborators, and committed staff, the Art Monastery enjoyed our biggest, best summer in Italy yet. Between May and September, AM Italia hosted 21 artists, 17 volunteers, and 2 interns, participated in 56 events, and performed for nearly 5,000 people. Check out our summer highlights in the 4-minute video reel.
