Second Annual Fall Art Retreat

September 23-28, 2018 with Kelly Walker

We are so excited to offer the 3rd collaboration between Capon Springs & Farms Resort and The Studio as we hold a Fall Artist Retreat.  You can come anytime from Sunday through Friday and stay for one night or all five.  The best part of coming is that the $110 per night includes 3 meals per day (homemade all you can eat comfort food, some from the farm), art instruction and all other resort activities, except for golf and spa services.  You can bring your own art supplies and improve your skills as you paint along.  Or if you don’t have art supplies and you want to give it a try, there will be a small supply fee* for the things you want to try.  How easy is that?!

Invite some friends and contact Capon Springs to reserve a room.  You can paint in the mornings and enjoy the resort activities in the afternoon.   We are so excited to be going back to this magical place and can’t wait to paint with all of you!!!!

Here is the schedule for the Art Instruction.  Try something new on these days or if you already paint you can work on whatever you prefer and get advice to improve your work.
