Dillman’s Creative Arts Retreat is inviting all area artists and with a special emphasis to the art departments of schools to the 2021 programs. This year with the gathering concerns, Dillman’s free facebook demos have been given by knowledgeable instructors have been very popular.. They are saved on www.dillmans.com/live Since 1918, family owned Dillman’s Bay Resort, in the beautiful Wisconsin Northwoods of Lac du Flambeau, has met the vacationing public’s changing needs in a classic vacation paradise. Dillman’s
offers the ever popular family vacation amenities such as, a full marina for a variety of water sports, tennis courts, four beaches, picnic grounds, nearby golf and plenty of space to relax in the lake country.
To provide more options for family member’s pleasure, Dillman’s Creative Arts Foundation (DCAF), a non-profit organization, was formed in 1978 with the assist of a continuingly helpful Board of Directors. The 2021 Workshop Schedule offers over 40 courses in watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, photography, writing and more in dillmans.com/2021. There are beginning through advanced students in 4 and 5 day programs.
“In this, our 44 season, we will continue to introduce the traveling public to the outstanding restaurants, attractions and quaint shops of the Northwoods when they are not busy with their artwork.” says Dennis Robertson, Dillman’s Creative Arts Retreat Director. Over 13,000 students plus their PALS (participants at Large) have traveled a great distance, often through Rhinelander airport to experience the seasons in the Northwoods. Students have flown in from Europe, Australia, Thailand and New Zealand. The courses may help prepare students for a profession in the visual arts, quite often non professionals enjoy a specific retreat outlet for artistic talent in a non-threatening yet concentrated setting. Wisconsin’s spring and fall offer Florida and Arizona’s southern artists a break from heat and humidity plus nature’s show of the changing seasons.
Since its inception in 1978, DCAF has awarded tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships and honorariums to students of all ages to attend workshops. There are still additional funds available for 2021. Please click on art@dillmans.com or visit dillmans.com/scholarship for scholarship applications.
