This retreat will provide a stimulating atmosphere, allowing each artist the opportunity to jumpstart and energize their work. Working from personal artists statements, compositional ideas (majors and minors), creative exercises and discussion, artists will be able to bring new perspectives to their work. This retreat time apart will allow each artist to focus on their work and immerse themselves in it. The goal of this retreat is to move each artist's work forward to a more powerful place. Two weeks prior to the start of the retreat, each artist will need to provide an artist's statement and a statement of what they want to focus on or accomplish during the week.
