France

“If you want to paint, close your eyes and sing!” PABLO PICASSO

Fly to France for a week of creative inspiration. Experience the sights and aromas that have motivated the great artists of the past and continue to motivate international artists today.

Along with hands-on painting workshops, you will visit galleries in Nice and Cannes and savor french cuisine prepared by local, internationally-recognized Master Chef Emmanuel Sofonéa.

Spend 8 days and 7 nights at the Villa La Rivolte, a 4.5 star villa in Grasse, France. Grasse is the perfume capital of Europe, located in the breathtaking hills above the French Riviera. The location allows easy access to Cannes and Nice, two great Mediterranean centres of art, history and culture, both less than half an hour away.

Jane Geurts, professor at New Brunswick College of Craft and Design and Cynthia Koelsch of Cynthia Koelsch Design Inc., offer individualized interaction that is both fun and flexible for beginner to intermediate artists. Space is available for 14 individuals with a participant / teacher ratio of 7:1.
