The Liturgical Arts Academy (TheLiturgicalArts.org) trains those who want to learn Byzantine chant or iconography in the tradition of the Orthodox Christian Church. The Academy is a one-week intensive program in late August led by expert teachers at the Diakonia Retreat Center. Registration fees are reduced through a matching grant from The Renaissance Fund. More than just a classroom, TLAA offers a comprehensive atmosphere of prayer, study, fellowship, and communion with other faithful servants who care deeply for the Church and the worship of the Holy Trinity.
