• “OHCA retreats offer a rare, deepening experience. In the expanse of time, the quiet and the connection to friends working nearby, my confidence and powers of insight are strengthened.”
• – Candis Cousins
• Monday to Friday,
• July 20 – 24
• 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
• OHCA is once again offering a week-long ARTIST RETREAT.
• This is a 5-day opportunity for artists to work independently but in the company of other dedicated artists. This is not a workshop, and there will be no instruction. What there will be is an opportunity for serious self-directed artists to work in a quiet atmosphere for a sustained period of time, working together but independently in the spirit of creativity.
• The Retreat is open to anyone who agrees to some simple rules:

• There is to be no talking except for quietly outside during the hours of 9-5.
• No music is allowed except with earphones.
• No visitors.
• Participants will be responsible for their own lunch and art supplies unless otherwise designated.
• Artists may leave their supplies and work set up during the week and will be required to clean up afterwards.

• Space is limited to 5 visual artists and 1 writer.
• Space allocations will be determined by the group.
• Friday afternoon everyone gets together to socialize and share their work/process.
