The 36th annual Kanuga Watermedia Workshops, April 10 - 16, 2021 (5 day class instruction April 11–15), will be held at the Kanuga Conference Center in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
The workshops offer the student a choice of eleven artist-instructors, independent study and our 'Paint With Friends – Open Studio’. Our instructors are 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. Instructors will conduct their individual classes in assigned classrooms. Each student works with one selected instructor the entire workshop. Classes are limited to 24 students, though most classes tend to be smaller. The instructor’s materials list, activity schedules, directions to the Kanuga Conference Center, and other general information will be posted on our website. The Kanuga Conference Center is located close to Hendersonville, N.C., and Interstates 26, 40 and 85; and is served by the Asheville Airport. All workshop activities are held on the 1,400-acre campus. Housing Accommodations: Rooms do not have TV's or phones; however all have Internet Wi-Fi access. All linens are provided.
