(The 36th annual Kanuga Watermedia Workshops @ Montreat, March 27 - April 1, 2022 (4 day class instruction March 28–31), will be held at the Montreat Conference Center in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, 18 miles east of Asheville.
The workshops offer the student a choice of eleven artist-instructors, independent study, or '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 and 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 Montreat Conference Center, and other general information will be posted on our website. The Montreat Conference Center is located close to Asheville, N.C., and Interstates 26, and 40; and is served by the Asheville Airport. All workshop activities are held on the 4,000-acre campus. Housing Accommodations: Lodging is not included in the workshop rate. Accommodations can be made directly through the conference center. On site accommodations include: The Assembly Inn: The Assembly Inn has 100 guest rooms and accommodates groups of up to 200 guests in single and double occupancy rooms, as well as one apartment and one deluxe suite. All rooms have either one king bed, one queen bed, or two twin beds. While some guest rooms have private baths and others have connecting baths, all baths are tiled and equipped with tubs and showers. Standard guest rooms do not have TV’s, phones, refrigerators, or microwaves. William Black Lodge: William Black Lodge is able to host 60+ guest in 29 guest rooms. All rooms have either one king bed, one queen bed, one double/full, or two twin beds. The public areas on the first floor are equipped with wireless Internet so those attending can stay connected to work and family. However, they do not offer Internet access or televisions in lodge rooms, a purposeful omission that encourages guests to enjoy the beauty of nature and the camaraderie of other people. The William Black Lodge is proud to be a smoke-free facility. The workshop rates include tuition, special evening programs and social hour. (Lodging and meals are not included in the workshop rate.) Painters’ Guests (non-workshop) are welcome for an additional fee. Many activities are available in the area and on the Conference grounds. Commuters are welcome. Meal packages are available through the conference center and evening programs are included. We encourage commuters to participate fully as the ideas and conversations that often occur at mealtimes and during the evening are a major part of the enrichment of the program. There’s more about being at Montreat than just what happens in the classroom! Meals: Meal packages are available through the conference center. Meals are buffet style and will accommodate most diets including vegetarian, gluten-free, and low cholesterol. (Diabetic meals are available on request). Boxed lunches will not be offered in 2022.
