The villages

A new art retreat in Florida USA (the villages)
April 17-24 2025

A bit of information

It’s time for the ARTIST TABLE to return to the USA!
In April 2025, we will meet in Central Florida with a new retreat concept, luxury hotel, lush surroundings, and an immersive art experience.





We will sketch, paint, and develop new skills as we travel around the beautiful community of  The Villages in golf carts, surrounded by lakes, tropical landscape and quaint town squares.  


But now It feels right, to do it again, and  in a new concept.
We will meet in Whaterfront inn Hotel in the Villages (Florida)
A new surrounding, new landscape, different light and atmosphere will do us all a lot of good,

We will move around the environment with the local golf cars ( typical too)
We will paint and draw around the nature and water streams of the Villages. We will also have some brand new  workshops this retreat that never have been before, such as:
Encaustic workshop (instructor: Kathleen Keller)
Also, we will go to do one day at Walt Disney's  EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
As always, three meals a day, lodging and transports is included.
also the Shuttle from Orlando airport to the hotel is included.

Each of you can get a private and individual room at this luxury hotel


Daily  activity
The daily schedule will be revealed as we will get near the retreat,
but I can tell you that each day, after breakfast we will go or travel or drive to a new landscape location in the area of the Village.
Sketching, drawing painting and print making workshop and as I was mentioning before Encaustic workshop as well.

On the day we will go to Walt Disney, we will take our sketchbooks and watercolors with us for those who would like to sketch over there.

It will be a action packed week, of art making,  fun, learning exploring and being together with good friends.
