professional women artists: invitation to apply to our residency mastermind!!
CANDYcolored studio podcast episode 246:
last fall, after receiving invitations to some beautiful artist retreats, i reached out to my beautiful artist friend, jessica libor of the creative heroine podcast to ask about her residency and art trip experiences. as we talked about what we loved most about each experience, we began brainstorming what would make the perfect artist residency for us.
we realized that many of the artist retreats were geared towards beginners or aspiring artists...wouldn't it be amazing to focus on professional women artists and add mindset and business growth opportunities too! what if it was a mastermind of sorts, an intimate community helping and enjoying the journey together?!as we made a list of all the things we'd include, we decided that if it didn't exist, that we'd need to create it ourselves -- and that's how the nature of creation: artistic awakening artist retreat for professional women artists began!
this 5 day retreat will be in wayne, pennsylvania april 9th - 13th.
