Artists Retreats in Quillan, France

Artist Retreats with Mike Snow and Timothy White

Our retreats in France are held in the art studio in our home, located in the lively small village of Quillan, on the banks of the Aude river. We are situated less than one hour south of Carcassonne, and about 1 hour west of Perpignan. You will stay with us in our home in one of several beautiful private suites, and our classes are limited to six students.

The retreats are designed for all levels of artists. The goal is to help you move your artwork forward, and deepen your creative self and it's ability to be expressed. You will also have the opportunity to experience the local culture, and soak up the nurturing lifestyle and delicious cuisine of Southern France and the Mediterranean.
