New England Artists Retreat 2025

NEAS Annual Retreat
One of the most anticipated events on our annual calendar is the Artists’ Retreat, a cherished tradition for our members. Held in or near stunning National Park locations, the retreat offers a few unforgettable days to unwind, create, and connect. Whether walking through serene landscapes, painting in nature’s studio, or simply relaxing about the homestead and chatting with fellow artists, the camaraderie and shared experiences spark inspiration. With time to pursue their own creative passions, participants enjoy a relaxed pace complemented by shared meals and a celebratory touch of bubbles in the evenings.
The retreat is a highlight for artists of all levels, from seasoned exhibitors to enthusiastic beginners, and it has grown increasingly popular each year. A few months after each retreat, participants have the opportunity to showcase their work in a dedicated exhibition at the Armidale Art Gallery. Following last year’s retreat, we are delighted to announce the upcoming Wattle, Walks and Water exhibition, offering a glimpse into the rich creativity born from this unique gathering.
Why not join us for the 2025 retreat? With the location soon to be announced – another beautiful and inspiring one, for certain – it promises to be an unforgettable experience.Information still to come. Please check back soon.
