Join Me In New Orleans December 9-13, 2025
If you know me you know that my style of teaching is approachable, inclusive and very hands on. The experience is immersive and you’ll have access to me the entire time to get feedback, guidance, instruction and a lot of fun. I’m over the moon excited to meet more of you in person so grab your friends, spread the word and reserve your spot today.
My home town is full of inspiration, culture and color. We’ll spend a few fabulous days where we can spread out and let our creativity flow. Let the city's vibrant energy ignite your own creative spark, whether you're a seasoned artist or a curious beginner. All levels are welcome and you do not need to be in the Art with Adele Academy.
What we'll learn
- Composition: You’ll learn how to arrange elements within your artwork, which will create a sense of balance and guide the viewer's eye.
- Say goodbye to "rules" and hello to "wow"! Discover the beauty of letting go in this exploration of creative flow.
- Unlock the secrets of effortless artistry. We'll explore practical exercises and mindset shifts that cultivate creative flow, enabling you to approach your art with ease and confidence. This newfound fluency will be your key to building captivating creations.
- Guide the Eye: Create a smooth visual flow through your artwork, directing the viewer's gaze to key elements.
- Overcoming perfectionism: We’ll embrace experimentation and learning from "mistakes" as stepping stones to growth.

Lodging & Transportation
For those who don’t live in the area and want to stay near each other, here are two hotels we recommend. However, there are hundreds of hotels and AirBnbs in the area so please stay wherever you feel comfortable. Rates will most likely be less expensive given the time of year.
● The Blackbird Hotel - $$$
● St. Charles Coach House - $$
Some people have enjoyed having a car available, however you do not need one. David Art Center is approximately 20 minutes from downtown New Orleans and many people opt to carpool after the first day, especially if everyone stays at the same hotel or near each other. And, of course, there's Uber and Lyft.
Curious what others are saying?
"I had the most wonderful experience during the Art with Adele retreat! I came away with a plethora of knowledge that I will apply to my art practice. Adele openly shares her practice and techniques, and is thoughtful, kind and authentic. She truly enjoys sharing with and helping her students. I hope to return for another one of her retreats in the future - it was life changing!”
