Hi Cyndi,

Hi Cyndi,
We have a unique art retreat Art in the Rough~Art Retreat for Women set in beautiful Maine, featuring assemblage, altered art, etc. It will take place in June and we would be tickled if you added to your post. Thanks so much!
Gotcha!
Hi Cyndi-
Thank you so much for compiling this listing! How tempting they all are!
There is a fantastic artists gathering in Columbus Ohio April 17-19 called Artiscape. It’s an extravaganza of paper and book arts, collage, jewelry, stamping, metal work, polymer and PMC clay. A true mixed media heaven! It’s annual- (since 2003)and is always fresh and exciting.
Besides the 50+ workshops there is also an Artists Marketplace, an Outsider Art Fair, and a Silent Art Auction.

Great! Thanks for the info Kari
