Join us for a joyful and inspiring creative retreat in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina, with mixed-media artist Cat Rains!
Over this spacious stretch of 3.5 days, you'll immerse yourself in the playful art of mixed-media collage, explore Asheville through a creative lens, and connect with a welcoming community of women who share your love of art, discovery, and creative expression.
With Cat's generous guidance, you'll explore collage-making, smartphone photography, expressive mark-making, and the creation of your own distinctive collage papers. Along the way, you'll bring your discoveries together in two beautiful handmade concertina sketchbooks, filled with the colors, textures, images, and memories of your Asheville experience.
Thoughtfully hosted by ArtPlay at The Foundry Hotel in the heart of downtown Asheville, this retreat offers a beautiful balance of guided art-making, creative exploration, nourishing meals, meaningful connections, and time to follow your curiosity.
Your Retreat Includes:
Daily immersive collage workshops with Cat Rains, including demonstrations, personalized guidance, and creative exploration.
Two handmade concertina sketchbooks, created throughout the retreat to capture your artistic discoveries and Asheville memories.
Creative exploration of downtown Asheville, with dedicated time to wander, photograph, gather inspiration, and discover the city's vibrant artistic character.
Daily breakfasts and catered lunches, enjoyed together around a communal table.
A special welcome reception, featuring a relaxed happy hour, generous hors d'oeuvres, and an opportunity to meet your fellow creatives.
Gathering opportunities for connection, sharing discoveries, conversation, and inspiration with a wonderful circle of creative women.
Thoughtful retreat hosting and hospitality throughout your experience with ArtPlay.
An optional guided visit to Asheville's River Arts District following the retreat. Your host Kristen will reach out to you upon registration, with details for this optional post-retreat excursion.
All creative experience levels are welcome! Whether you're new to collage or an experienced artist, you'll find a supportive space to experiment, play, discover new possibilities, and create in your own authentic voice.
