Do you love connecting with other artists and creatives? Are you looking to give yourself the gift of time, inspiration and playful exploration? Join us for a full-day retreat designed to refresh your creative spirit and build connections with a lively group of makers.

From sketchbook creation to mixed-media exploration, this one-day experience blends relaxation, experimentation, and meaningful conversation. We’ll spend the morning exploring materials and making sketchbooks, take a midday break for lunch together at a local restaurant (a perfect excuse to step back from our works-in-progress), and return to the studio to develop a small series of artworks in the afternoon.

Take a day to reconnect with your creativity, your community and yourself.
