Before you apply, please make sure you have read over all of the information on the retreat page, as well as the information at the bottom of this page!

Your application will be reviewed within 48 hours of applying. Sometimes just moments after! You do not need to be a professional artist to apply. Many applications come in, and for the most part, preference is given to artists who apply sooner rather than later.. often, decisions come down to a first-come, first-serve basis, so don't wait long to apply! Accepting applications this way insures that these retreats remain a mix of professional artists, hobbyists, and those gifting themselves the creative time they have never had before. The main criteria for applying is that you want time to be creative, and that your time away will nourish your creative spirit.

If your application is accepted, 1/2 of the total cost of your retreat is due within 30 days. The second half of your retreat cost will be due by January of 2024. Payment instructions will be included in your confirmation email.

This is a creative retreat! For some people, that will mean they want quiet, peace, and reflection. Others will want to be social with the other artists. Both are fine! Other art retreats are scheduled, and have a "theme".... that is not this retreat. These retreats are about stepping away from the responibilites of normal, everyday life, and rejuvinating your creative spirit! That looks different for everyone. It's just important to remember to respect what each person wants out of their retreat. There are ZERO expectations for people to hang out, be social or not social, or even to leave their rooms! This is YOUR amazing Art Retreat! The only thing expected is for you to have a week to be your creative, wonderful self!

It is understood that this retreat is a way for artistic people to spend a week in a highly inspiration with other artists! By applying, you understand that although many of the participants may indeed end up touring the area together, you are under NO obligation to do anything at all!

You must bring a drop cloth if you plan on painting in your room. Any damage done to the property is your responsiblity.

Absolutely NO GLITTER can be brought on the retreat! - no matter how fun glitter is.
