Artopia
Artopia Retreat - Where Art Meets Tranquility
Suitable for non-artists and beginner levels
This is simply a relaxing, discovery weekend. Combining a little bit of art with a bit of travel. By the end of your stay, you walk away with 2 completed artworks in short, supported sessions - not at all serious.
This really is more than just doing art. It's an experience in our rustic and picturesque coastal village of Kakanui. The two days provide a welcoming and relaxing environment that is perfect for any wanna-be artist looking to tap into their creative side. You can stay in a delightful beachfront vacation home, which is perfect for those seeking a unique and cozy experience or your own personal studio accommodation on the waterfront in Oamaru. On both days a Private Guided Tour is included, allowing you to explore the local area while experiencing the rich local creativity.
