The 2026 Everwood Artist Retreat Administrator

Through our Artist Series, a wide variety of professional artists perform in the 110-year-old barn. Artist Workshops are designed to inform and inspire both aspiring and professional artists with focused, hands-on teaching. And the Artist Retreat is designed for the practicing artist who needs a nurturing space in a natural setting to advance a creative project in solitude. Artists from all over the country participate in the Artist Retreat from June to October every year.
