Hanging our show in Tuscany, art critique, meals and more….

during our art crit

We are celebrating today Studio Italia’s mid-session with a show at La Fratta’s  beautifully restored i Salotti di Fattoria.  Around 10h00 and after a few cups of coffee, we decided on the works to be exhibited as well as on the titles and prices. By 11h00 all our works were professionally hung and visitors started to arrive. Part of the proceeds from sales will go to La Misericordia.  Afternoon is being devoted to our group art critique and later, aperitif time with the locals!

Already day number 6 of our painting workshop in Tuscany! Time flies indeed when you are having fun! We are very happy with our animated group of artists and art lovers from Australia, Canada, and Colombia. Up to now we have not stopped! Productive painting session at our lodge and in beautiful villages including Cortona, Montepulciano and Pienza; interesting art theory and art history lectures (the trecento, the renaissance, impressionism…); very pleasant aperitifs in local bar and enthusiastic discussions around exquisite and artistic meals at our lodge (pollo con olive, suino alla Martino, salciccie alla Toscana, vitello bianco con funghi porcini…). And on top of everything, weather has been gorgeous!

We’ll come back with more stories about our painting workshop in Tuscany!

Who are we?

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice. At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity. As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art-making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color!

Travelling with meaning : a painting workshop in Italy

Sep 30, 2017

 

More and more travellers from the developed world are looking for meaningful travels. We are aiming for journeys that allow us to learn something new, to deepen our culture, to enhance our lives. Purpose, inspiration and self-discovery are now vital elements in our traveling choices. Probably, this is why our quality painting workshops offered since 1997, have become more and more popular.

Traveling after COVID-19.

At Walk the Arts we aim to surpass easily-found knowledge on YouTube such as how “to mix your greens”, even “how to paint an Italian landscape”; and if you can learn the latter in a video, why attending a painting workshop in Tuscany? This reality has encouraged us to become a conduit of art knowledge, not a mere repeater of it.
