The 360 Art Academy is an institute that aims to shore up a lived universal sense of the world in the modern day artist who struggles to balance themselves in a contextual whirlpool.

Upon boarding the Academy, the artist will train while he travels to all the destinations in the world that are adjacent to the experiential Art curriculum. This will give the students a tangible experience of the subject matter that would

otherwise be limited to the one dimentional confinesof theoretical text books.

The training model is one that focuses on fluidity in leu of the rigid institutional structures. This model is focused on inducing in the artist all the positive characteristics of water.

The artist will be able to reflect the world, through their artistic voice, in an uncompromised way.

They will harbour reefs of knowledge and, by the end of the 360 degree revolution around the world, they will be well equipped to bring ashore the works that are a result of the depth one can only acquire in the isolation of being at sea.

Ideas with the potential to carve new countours into the rocks of mainland orthodox.

You are young.

Angst breeds volcanoes of rageIn the tangled death of ends in your veins

You are the reflection of your own eyes

Your mind wallows in a brooding ocean of thoughts and feelings.

Your gaze, naked and untrained as it is, is well equippedTo translate these eternal horizons into lines on a pageThat dance to a song that only you can hear but did not arrange.

Until they make manifest your vision of glorious perceptionCarrying with them the imperfect palette of feelings you injected.

REFLEXOLOGYof our times

And these are the times we live in.

We leave no gaps in our self creation

And thus, we watch our expressions stall

When the world is caving in

The only thing left to propel you yonder

Is the simple freedom you so crave.

Where the glare of the sky meets the sea, you will be. Away from your world. Around the world.

It is fluidity. At sea, you can be whatever you wish to be.
