Artist Retreat – Spring 2026
“OHCA retreats offer a rare, deepening experience. In the expanse of time, the quiet and the connection to friends working nearby, my confidence and powers of insight are strengthened.”
– Candis Cousins
Monday to Friday,
March 16 – 20
9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
OHCA is once again offering a week-long ARTIST RETREAT.
This is a 5-day opportunity for artists to work independently but in the company of other dedicated artists. This is not a workshop, and there will be no instruction. What there will be is an opportunity for serious self-directed artists to work in a quiet atmosphere for a sustained period of time, working together but independently in the spirit of creativity.
The Retreat is open to anyone who agrees to some simple rules:
- There is to be no talking except for quietly outside during the hours of 9-5.
- No music is allowed except with earphones.
- No visitors.
- Participants will be responsible for their own lunch and art supplies unless otherwise designated.
- Artists may leave their supplies and work set up during the week and will be required to clean up afterwards.
Space is limited to 5 visual artists and 1 writer.
Space allocations will be determined by the group.
Friday afternoon everyone gets together to socialize and share their work/process.
Week-long retreat: $200 | $170 OHCA members.
