More to Come!
The goal of this retreat is to provide a range of art education and painting techniques to participants in a spectacular setting in the Ozarks at the height of the autumn color. The mentors have divergent approaches to Plein
Air and you will be able to work with the artist of your choice while painting.
Michael McClure’s retreat center is a lovely and peaceful place to come together with other artists for a weekend. The accommodations are comfortable and spacious. The grounds will be alive with color the last weekend of October. There are several lodging choices with breakfasts and dinners included. They will be served in a large dining hall. The mentors will have paintings on display in the gallery space. The educational offerings will take place in the common area of the lodge facility.
This is truly a fabulous opportunity at very affordable pricing. We are limiting registration to the first 25 participants. If this seems like something you would enjoy, do not hesitate to enroll. As word gets out, the event will sell out.
