Stories from a Creative Campus in the Sonoran Desert

At the Curley School, creativity lives in every corner. It echoes in the whir of the woodshop, the hush of the clay studio, the warmth of a shared meal in the commercial kitchen, and the earthy scent of the desert garden after a rain. More than just a place to live, the Curley School Creative Campus is a place to connect, collaborate, and grow—together.

This blog is a window into life on campus.

Here, we’ll share stories from our resident artists, behind-the-scenes peeks into our historic spaces, upcoming events, and glimpses of everyday life in Ajo, Arizona. Whether you’re curious about moving here or simply inspired by desert creativity, we’re glad you’re here.

Stay tuned—and welcome to our story.
