Art Retreats
Escape, Create, and Reconnect with Your Creative Spirit!
Our multi-day art retreats are designed to help you relax, paint, and rediscover your joy for creativity.
Do you ever feel like life moves too fast, leaving little space for creativity? An art retreat is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and immerse yourself in color, calm, and connection. Over several days, you’ll paint, laugh, and rediscover the joy of creating art simply for you.
What We
Offer:
Daily guided art sessions
Our art teachers are passionate about helping women reconnect with their creativity through joyful painting experiences. Over the years, we’ve seen how art can heal, inspire, and bring people together, and that’s what our retreats are about.
Upscale accommodations
Our overnight accommodations allow you space to rest and recharge in beautiful, upscale environments. Reconnect with yourself. Give yourself this gift of creativity and calm, in nurturing spaces, surrounded by kindred spirits.
Time to rest, journal, or explore the surroundings
Art retreat spaces are limited to keep the group intimate. You might arrive feeling busy or creatively blocked, but you'll leave with renewed inspiration, confidence, a heart full of joy and new friendships. Retreat itineraries include unstructured down time, as well as visits to local attractions and highlights.
All art supplies & materials
We prep the space with art supplies we recommend and use in our studios. Try a variety of techniques and learn how to face the blank canvas. This retreat isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. It’s your time to slow down, breathe deeply, and let your creativity flow freely.
Delicious meals & refreshments
Meals highlight local flavors that rely on seasonal, fresh offerings highlighting the region. Participants complete a survey of dietary preferences prior to the art retreat. Hearty snacks and beverages available during studio sessions.
Creative confidence
Art sessions offer mindful creativity where you can explore ideas and concepts. Instructor demonstrations lead a creative journey that moves you from curiosity to confidence. Receive guidance and personal support for your artistic growth.
