Painting Retreat on the French Riviera 2024

France Riviera artists retreat

May 2-10, 2024

The Château de La Napoule Artist, a castle perched on the banks of the Mediterranean Sea in La Napoule, France

Come be inspired by the French Riviera! Long-time Continuing Studies drawing + painting faculty Adeline Goldminc-Tronzo will mentor students as they draw, paint, collage, and or use mixed media at the exclusive Château de La Napoule.  The  Château was once home to sculptor Henry Clewes, Jr and his wife Marie who designed the lush, ocean-front garden oasis. 

Bring your favorite drawing, painting, mixed media, and or collage supplies, and live in the Villa Marguerite on the grounds of the Château, a castle dating back more than 2000 years and perched on the banks of the Mediterranean Sea in La Napoule, France.  With its eight acres of formal gardens and sculpture-adorned architecture, the Château holds two coveted distinctions from the French Ministry of Culture: Monument Historique and Jardin Remarkable.

This retreat is for students who are comfortable with their creative process. Daily mentorship and critiques will support individual work time. This trip is for creative conversations, inspiration, building artistic relationships, free time, and making art.
