For over 60 years, La Romita School has been hosting workshops and retreats from its home, a 16th-century monastery nestled among olive groves in Umbria. The region is an extraordinary destination for artists, photographers, and poets, with inspiration to be found in local scenery, history, and culture. Time at La Romita gives artists time and space to focus on their art in a serene atmosphere, with opportunities to explore and adventure, without most of the logistical distractions that come with travel abroad. Ordinarily, our workshops are led by instructors in a particular medium, but this retreat will instead cater to those artists who just want to get out and capture their experiences with paintbrush, pen, or lens.
