Art retreats

Open Art opens new possibilities!

What is an art retreat?

An art retreat is a journey of renewal and inspiration, where creativity is combined with relaxation and self-care. In a cozy space, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, participants immerse themselves in art (drawing, writing, music or other practices), gently reset their emotional state, discover new ideas and get to know themselves more deeply. It is not about the result or skills, but about the pleasure of the process, inner freedom and a feeling of complete reset, from which you want to return refreshed and inspired. Open Art Academy combines its experience in the field of art with a vacation on the Adriatic Sea – giving you unforgettable sensations, the best vacation of your life and a sea of energy!

After the retreat, you will have paintings you`ve made with your heart, a memory materialized in reality. So that the spiritual rest never ends.

The retreats are held in the picturesque town of Ičići in Croatia, on the seashore, to the singing of the breeze and the beauty of nature. Bring your friends and let’s relax! More information about each of the retreats can be found at the links ⤵
