Bring the Painting Experience to a location near you!
We're often asked to offer workshops in new cities, states, and countries. We love to check out new venues and find new places to paint; it's not unusual for us to teach in several new cities each year. But growth happens only with your help. If you're interested in bringing The Painting Experience to your home turf, here's what we'll need from you. We hope you'll find the hosting process both easy and fun . .

Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished.
– Mary Oliver

Prospective Immigrants Please Note

Either you will go
through this door
or you will not go through

If you go through
there is always the risk
of remembering your name

Things look at you doubly
and you must look back
and let them happen

If you do not go through
it is possible
to live worthily
to maintain your attitudes
to hold your positions
to die bravely

But much will blind you
much will evade you,
at what cost who knows?

The door itself
makes no promises
it is only a door

-Adrienne Rich
