Art-Away : Santa Fe

$2100

includes housing, admission fees, meals, and transportation – payment plans and reduced tuition available if needed.

Art-Away trips are all about creativity, friendship and new experiences! This summer’s trip focuses on expressive drawing, painting and mixed media. We will spend time each day creating art in our home studio. For inspiration we will visit select galleries and museums in Santa Fe.  

My goal for every student is that they

  • see inspiring and relevant art, both contemporary and traditional  
  • explore their own creative process in response to what they see
  • understand how art grows out of individual experiences
  • express their unique voice through their art in a way that connects them to others

Students use sketchbooks, photography, even sound recordings to find direct and personal connections to what they see and experience throughout the week. They build on these impressions through the art they make each day.  We are staying in an airbnb with studio space both indoors and out.  When we are not making or looking at art, we enjoy delicious home cooked meals, play games, watch movies and enjoy each other’s company.

Limited to 6 students

thank you!
Traveling with Page allows students to be artists in the world of art that can only serve to inspire them to go further, to use their talents to seek that place they can call their own. Thank you, Page!

As someone who is trying to figure out their future after high school, spending time in an art school or with people who work every day in art for their career was really interesting and helped me gain a new perspective on how art can impact me and my life.
