Beckwith Art Retreat

Join Alyson Jackson at Beckwith for a 3-day art retreat that will allow us to pay attention to loosening our minds, bodies, and spirits as part of our art. We will focus on oil paintings with mixed mediums, specifically working on painting with pallet knives.

The weekend will also include prayer and other practices that will allow participants to expand how they enact and experience art.
