Nestled in Allegheny Highlands of western Virginia, Little Valley School is a community experiment dedicated to redirecting our attention away from products and toward practice, process, and "problems." Musician and educator Emilie Rex and filmmaker Rick Alverson created the school in early 2025 as a place for exploring art's value in increasingly uncertain times. The school convenes conversations among artists, thinkers, and doers--across sectors and disciplines--that embrace uncertainty, explore limitations and absurdity, challenge binaries, and practice radical co-creation. Initial projects will take place online with in-person events planned for late 2026. ​​
