AZULE is committed to diverse and multi-cultural expression. The stunning facility offers studio space, a performance stage, conference areas and peaceful outdoor settings uniquely conducive to creativity and resourcing. With its present programs - Retreats and Artists' Residencies, SkillShares Weekends, Workshops, "Words in Nature" and the Appalachian Homestead Skill Series, as well as an Art, Community, Local History and Design Library - Azule is hoping to become an APPALACHIAN magic hub of connections. This year Azule offered twenty two artists' residencies and eight public programs.
Visitors, artists, residents, healing practitioners come to AZULE for retreat, research, exposure, improvement, rehearsals or meetings. Azule Board Members are creative and practical. Their work is motivated by the vision to keep Azule open to everybody's history, everybody's geography, everybody's abilities and challenges, while anchoring itself in the Bluff/Spring Creek/Hot Springs/Madison County communities. To be further aware of our offerings, visit our website AZULE.org and sign up to receive AZULE NEWS (10 issues a year).
AZULE NEEDS TO BECOME SUSTAINABLE.
At this time of the year we want to ask for your support. Hosting your staff meetings, board workgroups, student retreats, training workshops, artists residencies or family gatherings at Azule will help us fulfill our mission and our goals. We will listen to your specific needs.
PROMOTE US to your friends and colleagues.
If you can, support us financially. Any amount is welcome. A monthly donation can be organized through Paypal at AZULE.org. We will discuss discounts on our programs with all our donors . Your support may help us for basic maintenance and utilities but also to cover expenses for facilitators, offer scholarships, involve youth groups or to be a match for a grant.
Being a part of the AZULE COMMUNITY has enriched our life and we think it may enrich yours as well. Please consider being a part of Azule. No donation or proposal is ever too small.
Keep in touch, come and visit, and tell us what you think. The Board of Azule.
