2024 Art Retreats

October is sold out • Join the waitlist below

After last year’s art retreat, I was so invigorated by the energy and creativity of being together that I’m excited to announce more in person events.

Each retreat will accommodate 16 artists. 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.

Here are also a few links to help as you start planning your trip.

What we’ll learn

Unravel tips and tricks during this intensive four-day workshop. Hone your critical eye, unlock hidden potential, and watch your artworks burst with captivating harmony. We’ll learn a bit about the following:

  1. Composition: You’ll learn how to arrange elements within your artwork, which will create a sense of balance and guide the viewer's eye.

  2. Say goodbye to "rules" and hello to "wow"! Discover the beauty of letting go in this exploration of creative flow.

  3. 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.

  4. Guide the Eye: Create a smooth visual flow through your artwork, directing the viewer's gaze to key elements.

  5. Overcoming perfectionism: We’ll embrace experimentation and learning from "mistakes" as stepping stones to growth.

I had no idea what to expect when I signed up but it was fabulous! Adele is such a wonderful teacher and makes you feel as if whatever you do is okay. It’s creative and if you’re having fun, that’s all that matters.

What’s included?

We’ve got you covered! All art supplies are included. In fact, we will be working above one of the best art supply stores (!!!) I”ve ever visited so you’ll have access to anything your heart desires.

Be sure to leave extra space in your suitcase because you will leave the retreat with many finished projects. Lunches (dietary restrictions will be accommodated) and drinks are included. Airfare, transportation and lodging are not provided.

No detail was left out - wow! Before I could even ask or need anything, Jen and Adele were 1000 steps ahead and provided everything. Best retreat I’ve ever been on. Just go, you won’t be disappointed.
