Star Arts 2024

June 16 - June 23

Expand Your Creative Horizons

Star Arts is a unique week-long adult retreat where you are encouraged to pursue your creative interests (regardless of experience) in one of our many visual and performative workshops and activities. Explore the island, dance, tell a story, share your poetry, paint a seascape, sing out loud, celebrate the Solstice. Or, find a rocking chair and discover a new friend. Star Arts brings together a variety of extraordinary workshop leaders who generously share their expertise with our Conference. This year we will be offering morning workshops that include Music, Fine Arts, Artisan/Craft, Photography, Writing and Drama. Workshop Leaders and their workshops will be announced soon. Watch our website stararts.org for updates and sign up for our newsletter. Old Shoaler or New Shoaler: You will be warmly welcomed!”
