Landscape Painting Holiday in Tuscany

As many of you know, we take a small group of students to Tuscany each year to paint landscapes. Last year's inaugural trip was a great success, and we're eager to repeat that experience this year. The arrangements are set, the house is booked, and our travellers are already pricing out airfare.

Recently, two of our travelers unfortunately had to withdraw from the trip, so we are announcing that those two spots are now available to anyone who might be interested. If you love landscape, food, wine and history and have a couple of weeks free in May, you might consider joining us on what promises to be an unforgettable experience in Tuscany.

POSITIONS FILLED!

ViSA student Jorie Wilkinson painting at San Casciano dei Bagni.

It's a small group – just 10 people total – sharing an authentic Tuscan farmhouse for the two weeks. We'll spend our days alternating between painting and travelling to nearby cities and towns including Florence, Siena, Assisi, Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano and Orvieto. A private cooking class, an exclusive wine tasting at an award-winning winery, and a tour of the Academia and Ufizzi guided by an art historian further highlight this package.
