Arts at Menucha 2023 Wrap Up

A big thank you to everyone that attended CAC’s workshops in August. This year saw us welcoming an unprecedented percentage of new participants. We know that our most successful marketing plan is word-of-mouth, so a special thanks to all our repeat participants that brought a friend this past year. We know that in turn many of these newcomers will become regulars and bring us more new participants. We encourage everyone to join the CAC Facebook group to stay in touch with each other and CAC.

NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON!

We plan to debut a new website in January 2024. We had chosen the current platform to serve our needs when we did our own registration, but it has shortcomings in other areas. Now that Menucha handles registration for us, we‘ll be moving to something that is both more affordable and allows us to share more photos! When we are ready to reveal our 2024 workshops they will be on this new platform. We will be sure to spread the word both via our newsletter and our Facebook page!

"The Creative Arts Community Arts Residential Workshop at Menucha is a supportive environment in which there is freedom, joy, and an opportunity to immerse in the creative process with other artists."  

- Laura E. Garnier

"The Creative Arts Community Arts at Menucha has been
a wonderful opportunity to try new art forms in a warm,
welcoming setting, as well as to connect with friends old and new.
I return home with new ideas and inspiration every year!"

- Julie Koch

"Creative Arts Community workshops at Menucha changed my life. More correctly, it gave me one. Art. The encouragement and support from other artists and instructors gave me the courage to do what I love and not worry about how "perfect" my art was. I also met some of my best friends there."

- Barbara Conyne

"Menucha is a very inspiring place! When I arrive at the CAC Arts at Menucha and pull down the long driveway, I can’t wait to start my plein air painting because there is so much to capture on canvas and paper. The nature and beauty there are a powerful inspiration, and it stays in your heart forever, healing body and soul."

- Barbara Masterson

"A week with the Creative Arts Community at Menucha is lifeblood to me.
The camaraderie of working with skilled instructors and interesting people creates an exciting mix that extends my palette of ideas and desire to explore a variety of mediums.  The atmosphere is, in a word, intoxicating."

- Tom Tucker
