Welcome Artists! This three-day retreat invites artists of all mediums – photography, watercolor, ink, digital, or oil – to come camp on 204 acres of breathtaking Virginia landscape. Let nature be your muse as you explore rolling fields, forests, and curated artistic landmarks. Whether you’re an experienced artist or picking up a sketchbook for the first time, you’ll find inspiration around every corner.

What to Expect: You’ll enjoy a mix of structured and self-guided creative time. Wander the land to sketch or take photos at your leisure, and join our scheduled activities to spark new ideas and connections. Start your mornings with gentle yoga or Qigong to set a mindful tone followed by a nourishing breakfast, then dive into art sessions throughout the day. In the evenings, enjoy a healthy and filling dinner and then unwind with fellow artists around a campfire under the stars or listen to chill music in our DJ tent.  Breakfast and Dinner are included with all tickets.

Community & Camaraderie: Evenings at the retreat are pure magic. After dinner, join us around the campfire – a favorite gathering spot to share stories, music, and laughter. Bring your musical instruments if you play, or simply enjoy the warmth and conversation. Our community campfire is where new friendships form and inspiration continues long after the day’s art-making is done.

Camping Under the Stars: All attendees are invited to camp on-site and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Collective Spaces (our host property). Choose your comfort level:

• Primitive Camping: Free with your ticket – pitch your own tent in open camping areas. Fire pits and stunning views are available.
• Upgraded Glamping: Looking for extra comfort? Check out local glamping options at Evolution Glamping for a cozy stay in style.
• Nearby Lodging: If camping isn’t your style, nearby accommodations like Berry Hill Resort offer beds and hot showers while keeping you close to the action.

Feel free to bring a bike, one-wheel, or dirt-capable scooter to explore the expansive property – there’s plenty of ground to cover and scenery to take in!

Tickets for Every Budget: We offer several ticket options, including early bird discounts and volunteer tickets (work a few hours and get a major discount). Our goal is to make this enriching experience accessible. Get Your Tickets Here – secure your spot and get ready for an unforgettable artistic adventure!
