| Description: | "Art Workshop International is a sublime merge of Vacation (sunflower fields, Umbrian plains, like-minded travelers, ambling to and fro, dinners on the terrace) and Creativity (painting, reading, poetry, good teachers), a fine way to focus and let go." -Frank McCourt, author of "Angela's Ashes," "'Tis," and "Teacher Man" In the heart of Umbria, halfway up the slopes of Mount Subasio, lies Assisi. A town remarkably rich in priceless art treasures, its medieval character has been maintained and can still be discovered in the narrow streets and squares. In this special environment, Art Workshop offers a series of creative courses to make your sojourn in Assisi an unforgettable experience. Art Workshop International celebrates its 28th year in Italy. Under the direction of Edith Isaac-Rose and Bea Kreloff, artists and writers are invited to join committed adults in an atmosphere of serious study and enjoyable play. Besides Frank McCourt, past teachers and visiting artists include Dorothy Allison, Michael Cunningham, Marilyn French, Vivian Gornick, Maxine Hong Kingston, Tony Kushner, and Grace Paley. Classes are five days a week with two days off for day trips or short-term travel. Participants are encouraged to stay on for another two-week class or spend an extra week in Assisi to continue their study/relaxation independently. |
