Sundress Academy for the Arts

The Sundress Academy for the Arts (SAFTA) is a nonprofit artists' retreat on a 45-acre farm in Knoxville, Tennessee that offers residencies to writers, visual artists, filmmakers, composers, and more, from across the country. With two residency rooms on site, we offer a rotating space for nationally recognized and emerging artists in multiple disciplines.

SAFTA also hosts the Sundress Weekend Workshops, a series of creative arts workshops emphasizing composition, revision, and creative development. As part of Sundress Publications, the Weekend Workshops provide focused, personalized instruction to writers and artists of all skill levels. Participants are treated to guidance from advanced instructors who help them to not only hone their craft but also find suitable venues for their work. These workshops traditionally center on a theme or topic and often include an element of incorporated learning.
