Particlarly welcoming to women artists, the Grand Bend Arts Retreat lies just outside of the summer magnet of Grand Bend, Ontario. A 10 minute drive to the famous Pinery Provincial Park and with a small grounds and comfortable studio working space, it has everything you need to find inspiration and direction for your next art project. The space is quiet and accessible for the Grand Bend neighbourhood, where there is plenty of accomodation available year round. Take some time to stroll with Rachel Smith, the resident artist, in the perfect sand dunes of the Carolinian Forest, wander through history at the Lambton Heritage Museum or gather materials and sketch outdoors. There is an endless amount of things to engage with in the neighbourhood but best of all there is access to the full arts studio of Rachel Smith - with space to spread out and create availeble to all our students.
