A legendary retreat for artists, poets, and composers seeking inspiration in its sublime beauty, the Amalfi Coast is a natural setting to explore the visual arts.

For centuries, the sweeping coastlines and rocky cliffs have drawn painters eager to capture the breathtaking landscapes. Ceramics artists have also flocked here for the centuries-old traditions of ceramics still thriving in many of the towns along the coast.

The Amalfi Coast Music & Arts Festival invites students and artists to explore the artistic traditions of the area while embarking on an intensive course of study in ceramics, painting, photography or mixed media. Classes are taught by instructors who are prominent faculty members of the Corcoran College of Art & Design, the art school affiliated with the Corcoran Museum in Washington, D.C. and other artists from around the country.
