REGARDING THE COVID 19 VIRUS: It is very difficult for us to imagine a scenario under which we will open the workshops without a vaccine. Our artists come from throughout the United States as well as 4 or 5 other countries. We will not put on the workshops unless we feel confident that our "family" is going to be safe. The Kanuga Conference Center has reopened for limited private cottage retreats. At this time they are not able to safely handle an event the size of ours. Please know that we are hopeful and working diligently toward having the 2021 workshops, creating graphics for upcoming magazine ads and brochures, as well as planning speakers and special events. Check out our wonderful workshop offerings for next year and when we know we can offer a safe environment for our students, instructors, and staff, we will open registration. Until then, stay safe and stay tuned...

We are now celebrating the 36th year of
Kanuga Watermedia Workshops!
Kanuga Watermedia Workshops is known for its eclectic, A-list Watermedia workshops taught by the world’s most respected artists. This event is held every spring at the Kanuga Conference Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. The workshops offer each student a choice of eleven instructors, independent study or open studio. Our award-winning instructors have been chosen for their ability to help painters develop and advance their skills.
Painting is always a learning experience. Our goal is to help painters sharpen their critical awareness and discover painting gratification.
​All levels of painters are invited. 

Join the fun. 
Make new friends. 
  Take in the beauty.
