Our Art Retreat is a fun time for
everyone. We try to have projects which highlight a medium, a technique
or a product that exposes the attendees to something new or a new way of using
a product or enhancement of a technique. Projects are of short duration
in order to expand our retreat experiences. We always have a good
variety.
Our Art Retreat is one cost, which includes our rooms, meals and, (with very few exceptions) all project supplies. Attendees bring usual painting supplies.
Our accommodations are comfortable with 2-person shared bedrooms and private baths. Meals are enjoyable and are held in the solarium dining area close to our meeting room. Our meeting space is large and spacious, with plenty of room to paint comfortably.
Everyone attending the retreat contributes to the work involved in preparation and/or in on-site duties as assigned. On-Site Duties are assigned at Check-in.
We will once again have a fundraiser consisting of donations by attendees of primarily painting associated items. There will be pre-priced items, and silent auction items. This fundraiser allows us to provide the projects at no additional cost. All attendees are encouraged to participate in the fundraiser both with donations and purchases.
Direct any questions to Linda Underwood, Retreat Committee Chair, (334) 389-1096.
