Provence-France 2025
23-30 May 2025
Come with us for an enchanting week in the South of France where Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Cézanne painted so many of their masterpieces.
Van Gogh and Cézanne called Provence their home. They were captivated by the extraordinary light found there and spent their careers painting it in their own way. In doing so, these artists broke new ground for all of us that have come after them. By pushing artistic boundaries they gave the world the gift of seeing the world in a new way.
We have those that are daily painters and those that are very new to painting.
Experience has shown us that as we work side by side with others that the adventure becomes very rich for all involved.
Therefor you are all welcome for this artistic adventure in the Provence on 23-30 May 2025
Can you imagine a week with no worries?
All the time you need to draw and paint in the most inspiring places,
with good company that speaks your artistic language,
and no care for where you will sleep or eat. Give yourself this present, it will,
believe it or not, change your life, and jump-start your creativity!
"A retreat in every sense of the word. A real getaway from it all. My very first retreat with a bunch of incredible people from all over the globe; and what an exuberant experience it was -- just soaking in the atmosphere of the countryside that a city dweller like me needed, but most of all, doing what I love best!"
–Belinda from Singapore
"It was an awesome week that I spent on the Beaver Island during August 2016 with Tali & Royce and a bunch of other lovely folks!! An experience I won't forget for a lifetime. There was lot of learning and sharing during the retreat, something that I have not done before. This is a great concept by Tali & Royce and they are awesome guys with lot of innovative ideas and concepts. Am already looking forward to the next retreat!!!"
–Ravi from Bangalore, India
"I remember the week in Olst with you... every day."
–Ana from Andorra
"I am part of a Vincent VanGogh group on Facebook called VanGogh Inspires. Back in February of this year, I read about the Artist’s Table retreat the day after I saw the film Eternity’s Gate on this Facebook group. I immediately contacted Royce and Tali to see if they would let someone who was not an artist accompany them on their trip to Provence to walk in the footsteps of Van Gogh and Cezanne. They welcomed me with open arms. I had such a fabulous time on this trip. Not only did they take me to magical places, they also inspired me to create a few paintings of my own. I had a great time. They also prepared home-cooked meals that were works of art themselves. I highly recommend a retreat with Royce and Tali for creating art and memories that will last a lifetime."
–Annie from Chicago
