Tett Adult Arts Retreat

Ready to unplug, get creative, and immerse yourself in a weekend of artistic exploration?

The Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning is hosting its first-ever Adult Arts Retreat, a two-day immersive creative experience designed for adults (18+) who want to experiment with new artistic mediums, learn new techniques, and connect with fellow creatives in a relaxed and inspiring environment.

Taking place Saturday, May 16 through Sunday, May 17 (9 AM – 5 PM each day), this retreat invites participants to move through studio spaces throughout the Tett, engaging in a series of hands-on workshops led by experienced tenant artists and instructors. With a maximum of 12 participants, the retreat offers an intimate setting that encourages curiosity, experimentation, and meaningful connection.

Across the two days, participants will explore a variety of artistic disciplines while gaining practical skills and insight from professional artists. Whether you’re an experienced creator or simply looking to reconnect with your creative side, the retreat is designed to spark inspiration and provide a supportive environment for learning and discovery.
