Amanda Edwards, Art Retreats

Art retreats are open to all mediums! 

These retreats are not based on your portfolio... they exist to invite artists of all mediums to experience time and space away from their daily routines, environments, and obligations. They allow creative time to reflect, make art, relax, and explore a new area with new inspirations. Immersion into an area other than your home can be healing and inspiring. Something magical happens when artists explore their creativity within a new community! There are no mandatory scheduled events during these retreats. The time is all yours to do what you wish. There will be some opportunities for you if you wish to participate. Examples might be a one-day painting class, a mosaic workshop, an outing to one of the local islands, etc. However, these retreats are meant to give YOU time to reconnect with your creative self, and have the freedom to explore your own medium in a new environment.
