New this summer, an Immersive Art Experience in Washington DC!

Enjoy two days of creating new art projects inspired by masters such as Alma Woodsey Thomas, March Chagall and more in the Harrison building located in the Greater DC area. On the third, we’ll have a private driver take us around to some of Washington DC’s most famous galleries, and see many of those famous works of art for ourselves!

See first hand why those masterpieces have inspired others for so long, and take back some of that wisdom and energy to your students this fall.

Spend two days making art projects in the business center of the Harrison apartment building in Reston, VA.

Enjoy morning and afternoon work sessions on both Friday and Saturday, trying out over 15 projects that teach valuable skills. Work at your own pace, and focus on those you know will work best for your students.

Choose your own lodging in the vicinity, to fit your own needs.

There are many hotels nearby. Here are a few options: Hyatt Regency Reston, Residence Inn Reston and AC Hotel Reston. Reston Town Center is about a 5 min walk where you can find Chipotle, Potbelly, Starbucks, North Italia, and more.

Expand your visual arts education with new art lessons that follow National Core Arts Standards.

Watch the creativity and inspiration that happens when a larger group of teachers (up to 20 guests) all work side by side. The energy and ideas can be contagious!

Complete 20 hours of professional development credits in one weekend!

Cost of the weekend is $975 and includes two lunches and all supplies (not lodging). Come early and enjoy a welcoming party on Thursday night.


I loved the way the guests all bonded and were able to talk to each other. The projects were all so interesting and I will definitely use them at my school. I am so happy I came!
— Sheila V., Elementary art teacher

Creating 2D work one day and 3D the next is a great idea.
The use of burlap and sewing especially is one idea that I will definitely be bringing back to my classroom.
— Sherry M., Elementary teacher

Creating a portfolio of projects to take home is just what I needed, but having hours of time to make art also just soothed my soul.
— Penny T., Elementary teacher
