The Fall Artist Retreat is an immersive two-day experience that brings together multiple artistic practices and approaches within one intentional weekend. Rather than simply attending individual classes, retreat participants are invited to settle into the rhythm of creating, moving from reflection, to storytelling, to exploration, to expressive art-making alongside other creatives in a welcoming studio environment.
