“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." |

The view from the terrace |
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.
Here Giotto, Cimabue, the Lorenzetti brothers, and Simone Martini painted some of
the most breathtaking art in Italy. 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.

or spend an extra week in Assisi to continue their study/relaxation independently. |
