The Aegean Center for the Fine Arts was founded in 1966 by Brett Taylor, and is now overseen by its director, John Pack. The center is an independent, non-profit program located in Paros, Greece and Pistoia, Italy. Courses are offered in two semester-long sessions per year and include painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, creative writing, art history, literature and classical singing.[1] The center accepts a maximum of 24 students into each of its semester programs.[2]

Taylor was both a painter and musician who gained a passion for Greece from one of his teachers at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Taylor's writings described the intentions for his program: "...to get away from mass production and to meet a need for individualized instruction in an unfamiliar and very different setting which fosters a fresh perspective and independence..."[3] John Pack has directed the Aegean Center since 1984 where he also teaches digital photography.
