Plein Air Day at Menucha Saturday, Oct 24th
Co-Sponsored by the Creative Arts Community
$50 donation per person
Arrive as early at 9:00 am, leave as late as 5:00 pm
Bring your supplies, your creativity, and enjoy your time at Menucha. Aside from painting, we think it would be a lovely day for writing, drawing, or any creative endeavor you'd like to pursue. This will be a self-guided event. While we know folks might like to gather together, proper social distancing will be a must. Lunch and/or overnight stay can be added. Once you buy your ticket, you’ll get instructions on how to do that. Check in when you arrive, get your temperature taken, then the day is yours.
Volunteers will be on hand for questions and to offer suggestions for great hidden spots. Bathrooms in Wright Hall are open, and will be cleaned every hour. Masks must be worn inside Wright Hall.
Thank you for supporting Menucha!

2020 Residential Workshops Canceled due to COVID-19
Dear Friends of the Creative Arts Community:
It is with great sorrow that the Board of Directors of the Creative Arts Community has made the decision to cancel our Residential Art Workshops at Menucha this summer. As you are well aware, the ramifications of the coronavirus are changing very rapidly. We are unable to predict if the pandemic will subside by August.
We carefully considered many factors and feel our decision is in the best interest of the health and well-being of our wonderful community. You are in our hearts and we very much hope to see you again at camp in August, 2021.
The Creative Arts Community will continue our newsletter informing you of important news. We don’t want to lose a single one of you! Please sign up if you have not done so already. We’ll keep you informed, tell you about online forums we hope to create to celebrate our resilient and caring community.
Our hearts go out to everyone affected. Please stay safe.
-The Creative Arts Community Board

"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."
