"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
