Looking for a way to connect with your inner artist? This 2-day summer retreat is just the ticket! Lean into guided creativity, personal growth, and good company.

9am-4pm Saturday, August 9 & Sunday, August 10
ADULT - All levels - beginners welcome!
Some child care available. Inquire with Nadine Smith. 

Sliding Scale - $350-$400 (includes all materials)

Rejuvenate your creative soul with playful and personal approaches to paint.

You will be supported and encouraged to engage in your personal, artist journey. 

You’ll be provided with materials, instruction and inspiration to create two, vibrant and personal projects over the course of the weekend. We’ll share fundamental techniques and tools for working with water-based, acrylic paints, and mixed-media collage. Along the way, we’ll indulge in a little soul-searching - and a lot of joy. 

Who are you as an artist? What are you called to create?What are the places and spaces that have special meaning to you?

We hope this is just the beginning of something wonderful. 

We’ll meet in Greenwood at Nadine Smith’s plein-air paradise, and/or indoors in the Capitol Hill art studio of Karen Lewis - as weather allows.

Each day opens with an optional, 40 min yoga session from 8:15-8:45. Art instruction begins at 9:00 with a series of creative warm-up inquires over tea or coffee. We’ll dive deep into art making from there, breaking midday for a potluck lunch. 

Participants and families are invited to join us after class Sunday afternoon for a celebratory visit to Chuck’s Hop Shop.
