THROUGH MATISSE’S WINDOW – Painting in the French Way

NOW BOOKING!

Villa Le Rêve, Vence, France

September 26 -October 3, 2021

Sadly, the ‘Through Matisse’s Window’ week planned for this fall 2020 is just not possible due to the ongoing Covid situation we find ourselves in. I cannot be confident of going forward safely so I have now with great disappointment completely cancelled our booking at Villa Le Reve. 

However ......there is some very exciting news! I have now booked the Villa Le Reve residence for ‘Through Matisse’s Window 2021 - the week of September 26 through October 2nd. I am thrilled to have this on the horizon - it gives one such hope to be able to think these special things in our life will resume. I am thinking positively.

As before, a group of ten painters will take part in a once in a lifetime opportunity to live and paint in the studios of Villa Le Reve where Matisse painted many of his most iconic works. We will enjoy the food, wine, and ambiance of Vence while furthering our painting skills in a fun and vibrant setting. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced you will feel the magic when you are truly ‘Looking Through Matisse’s Window’.

The cost is CAD $2,450 per participant for the week. The fee includes accommodation and tuition. For further information please contact me at karencurrystudio@gmail.com

For those who had booked 2020….If you wish to roll your booking over to 2021 just let me know or if a refund is preferred, no problem, I am happy to accommodate your wishes.

THROUGH MATISSE’S WINDOW 2018 – Villa Le Rêve, Vence, France

THROUGH MATISSE’S WINDOW

Painting in the French Way

Villa Le Rêve, Vence, France

October 7 to 13, 2018

I am very excited to be offering ‘Through Matisse’s Window’ once again this year. The dates will be October 7 to 13 at Villa Le Rêve in Vence, France. This painting week had been a long-held dream of mine and last year it came to fruition. The experience surpassed my hopes in every way – the artistic opportunity, the camaraderie among wonderful participants, the setting at Villa Le Rêve and the surroundings and cuisine of the beautiful Provençal village of Vence. I believe that we all shared the feeling that the spirit of the great painter Henri Matisse still inhabited Villa Le Rêve and fed us with inspiration. Indeed – I shall never forget the feeling of painting in the residence where he created so many of his iconic works …… and truly looking ‘Through Matisse’s Window’. I am thrilled to be presenting this week Villa Le Rêve once again this year.

There will only be room for ten students this year and I believe spaces will fill up quickly. The cost is CDN$2,150 per participant for the week. The fee includes accommodation and tuition for the six nights, Sunday, October 7 to Saturday the 13th. For further information or to book a place please contact me at karencurrystudio@gmail.com
