I felt very lucky to have the opportunity to participate in this workshop. Additionally, it was a lot of fun to spend time with a very nice group of artists.”

“I am just back from the recent Kipaipai weekend in Joshua Tree - it was an incredibly rewarding & intense experience “...where artists helped each other for a common goal” (to quote another alumni) exactly right. I think we all came away having met new & interesting people, feeling relaxed, empowered & seen! I am so happy I went!”
