> Sundown Schoolhouse opens Autumn 2006 and is now accepting
> applications. It
> will be a geodesic home based educational environment with an activist
> mission. In the classic model of the schoolhouse, students of many
> ages {18
> to 80+} come together to study a diversity of disciplines. It is a
> school
> for gently radical design, literary, performing & visual arts. We will
> foster models for active {and activist} creative practices that
> engage with
> the messy realities of the world around us, from our relationships
> with the
> diverse peoples in our city to the eroding natural and urban
> environments we
> inhabit.
