The Abruzzi Mountain Art Workshop


 
Ischia, Italy (Bay of Naples)

… is expanding to new destinations.  In its tenth year, AMW inaugurates its innovative drawing and painting program, ‘IN VIAGGIO,’ on the intriguing island of ISCHIA.  Situated in the Bay of Naples, Ischia is known for its rich Greek origins as well as its ancient thermal waters.

We are offering intensive week of drawing/painting/multi-media, from
August 23 - 30, 2003. Other weeks will be added. Please check with us for updates.

As in our other programs, we engage both the beginner and the more experienced artist. Mornings will be spent working from the charming Miramontemare Hotel or in superb outdoor locations … among cobbled streets, shaded piazzas, and stunning Mediterranean promontories. Afternoons will be available for island excursions and partaking of the lovely island spas.

The price of the (US) $1,550.00 one-week workshop includes:

  • seven nights at the Hotel Miramontemare
  • daily breakfast and lunch
  • five hours of instruction each day
  • all materials
  • transportation to on-location sites
  • critiques and our farewell dinner festa

Optional for those interested, we offer a morning session of preparation for our visual work by using breath, sound, sensing, and fluid movement

The workshop will be conducted by Patricia Antonucci and Barbara Schaefer. We are two New York-based artists who have lived and worked extensively in Italy, joining our creative forces to extend to you a week of exciting and energizing approaches.
