Upcoming ArtisTTable Art Retreats

The 2017 ArtisTTable Art Retreat season was really a wonderful experience. Thanks to every one that joined us on each of them. We really appreciate that you shared that time with us. We feel so fortunate to count each of you as dear friends. We look forward to the times when we can see more of your art online or in person, and hope that our paths will cross again soon.

Tali and Royce have been working non-stop since the end of October to line up everything that has to be lined up for the 2018 Retreat Season. Most everything is in place, so we want to announce just what is scheduled for the new year. It is going to be a busy one.

First off you should know that you can go to our website www.ArtisTTableOnline.com and click on the Retreat tab or you can click here to go directly to the Retreat site: http://bit.ly/2qnGBes

We are so excited to be going back to Néot Semadar to “Paint in the Desert.” Last time we had such a rich experience discovering all the colors that are to be found there. It really is a magical part of the world. As painters it is as challenging as it is enriching. There is no doubt that you will grow in ways that you never expected. There will of course be painting demos and instruction available. We are happy to have Ilana Weiler with us again, and she will be leading an all new Mindfulness workshop.

Finding Expressionism is a new retreat experience that we are really looking forward to. March 20, 21, and 22 will be action packed days and nights of artistic exercises that are designed to allow you to access your creativity and be amazed by the sources of inspiration that you will be able to find right under your nose. This retreat is going to be held in the Orly Dvir Gallery located in the Jaffa Port in Jaffa/Tel Aviv, Israel. Come prepared to paint a lot, and in the end there will be a very special art show and reception in the gallery.

Art of Rehabilitation and Healing is a very special retreat that is designed specifically for those under-served members of our community that have certain disabilities. Through the years we have realized over and over again the healing power that art found in the arts. Just looking and visiting a gallery or museum can lift your spirits, but when you create your own and explore the possibilities the results are miraculous. Check out our web site to see how you might join us in Kfar Hess, Israel for this 2 day experience.

We had such a delightfully magical time on our “After Van Gogh” retreat this last year that we are doing it again. The only thing is that we are going to make it even longer because there is just so much about Vincent that we think you JUST HAVE to experience. We will start in the south of France in Arles and St. Remy where Vincent painted so many of his masterpieces. Your head will spin as you stand in the very places the he did with his easel. Then we are traveling to Auvers, which is just northwest of Paris. This is where Vincent met his tragic end after only being there for 6 weeks. This amazing place is filled with emotion and inspiration.

We want to announce that the travel agency, Shiluvim in Shderot, Israel is organizing two different groups that will be flying from Israel each for a week in the far north of the Netherlands. We will be taking our Genuinely Dutch retreat up to the shores of the North Sea and will be drawing and painting this very special landscape. If you can fly from Ben Gurion you can join us for one of the beautiful adventures.

We have just announced and are looking for anyone that is interested in joining us on another all new retreat we are calling “Following Cézanne.” Aix-en-Provence is where Paul Cézanne’s studio was, and the surrounding area is where he spent so much of his career painting from. We will visit his studio and paint all around the Mont Sainte Victoire. We are still organizing details about this retreat, so let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in being there with us.

On the 9th of June we had our first broadcast of TTtv. Since then we have had several broadcasts that have gotten better and better. The technology created by Be.Live has gotten more stable and so we are able to talk with every one on a weekly basis about what we have going on. It is fun to give our weekly updates to our activities.

You can tune in by going to the ArtisTTableOnline Facebook page. Watch on your favorite social media platform for announcements as to our next shows. If you are able catch us while we are live, you can chime in with comments and questions, in fact, you can even join us on the air if you like. We would love it! Join in and we can bring you on the show and talk to you about your art, your studio or any upcoming shows you have, or exhibitions you have seen recently.

In 2018 we will continue to give painting demos and we will have special guests from time to time. Check the show out and you can watch our older shows there on the Facebook page too.
