Meadowmount 2027: June 26 to August 13
“Summers at Meadowmount have a lifelong impact on a young artist. It is an experience unlike any other, combining what is increasingly rare: extraordinary mentorship, an inspiring natural setting, and the gift of uninterrupted time. Without the usual distractions of everyday life, students can focus deeply on refining their technique and discovering who they are as artists.
It is with joy and a deep commitment to Meadowmount and our students that I invite you to join us in Summer 2027.”
– Janet Sung, Artistic Director
