Art-Away :
Washington, DC & Baltimore, MD
March 26-April 1, 2023 (ages 13-17) Limited to 6 students.
$1900* (includes lodging, meals, admission fees and local transportation – airfare not included)
The purpose of all Art-Away trips is to give students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the art world of another area, while having time and space to create their own art work in response to all they see. The trip to Baltimore-Washington is made extra special in that we stay in the home of a local artist who shares her extensive knowledge of the local art world.

-
2 days in Washington and 3 days in Baltimore,
- In Washington: visit select exhibits at The National Gallery of Art, The Hirshhorn Museum, The Museum of American Art and The Renwick.
- In Baltimore: stay at artist, Catherine Behrent’s, house. Participate in a drawing class at Maryland Institute, College of Art , visit local artists’ studios, experience the American Visionary Art Museum.
