An Art Retreat which is a Vacation. An Art Vacation which is a Real Treat.
Art courses and workshops in drawing, painting and printmaking run from early spring to late autumn and are structured to accommodate a wealth of creative pursuits from drawing, pastels, watercolor, acrylic and oil painting, airbrush to drypoint, lino, monoprinting and mixed media.
Your hosts are Jan-Willem Boer, an established artist and commercial illustrator, and Nancy Bácher, an artist’s representative. Jan-Willem worked and taught for over 25 years in the USA and Europe. Together they offer art courses, inspiration and individual guidance to their art students, making each course a unique learning experience for artists at all levels.
The Shenandoah Art Destination is located in Virginia, USA. Three miles south of the historic town of Lexington, the 10 acre property is surrounded by scenic rolling hills nestled in the Shenandoah Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains; the perfect art retreat location.
