The Farms: Art Retreat
Artists of all levels are invited to experience art in a new way at The Farms: Art Retreat on May 9-11 (Friday, 9 a.m. through Sunday, 3 p.m.) in the Mansion. Get creative and learn something new in a wide variety of workshops by choosing what appeals to you, including watercolor, printmaking, drawing, Ikebana, and more! See the full schedule (subject to change) here .
There will also be plenty of downtime to relax and enjoy the company of fellow art lovers over food and drink. (Including enjoying the art of music – bring your favorite instrument if you have one for impromptu jam sessions!)
Registration includes all materials and meals* (Friday lunch through Sunday breakfast). A bar will be available Friday and Saturday evenings.
This memorable weekend is a great opportunity to spend quality time with a special family member, gather a group of friends to inspire each other, or recharge with a solo getaway. Art Educators can earn up to 13 professional development hours (PDH)!
$295/person. Register here by May 2. All sales are final.
