SUMMARY:Landscape Painting in Acadia\, Maine with the New York Academy of Art
DESCRIPTION:Be inspired by the rocky coasts and forests of Maine’s Acadia National Park in this plein air landscape painting retreat led by Ard Berge and sponsored by the New York Academy of Art.  Over eight days\, explore nature drawing\, the colors of sunlight on surf\, and quick painting on locations mined by Thomas Cole and Frederic Edwin Church. The retreat fees include meals and shared housing at Schoodic Institute inside Acadia National Park as well as five days of optional instruction.\nSchoodic Peninsula and Acadia National Park:\nSchoodic Point is a coastal “neck” that projects into the Gulf of Maine and is adjacent to Frenchman’s Bay and Mt. Desert Island. Although Schoodic peninsula is the only part of Acadia National Park that is connected to the mainland\, it tends to be significantly less crowded than Mt. Desert Island. The peninsula contains many beautiful vistas along its shoreline as well as hiking trails. Winter Harbor is the nearest village to Schoodic Point and features a grocery store as well as seasonal restaurants\, galleries\, and shops.\nLodging and Meals:\nAccommodations are provided by our partner\, Schoodic Institute\, at the Schoodic Education and Research Center (SERC) which they manage. The SERC facility is an educational and research campus located on Schoodic Point and is the only provider of housing inside Acadia National Park. Housing includes a private bedroom with a shared bathroom and common area. Six days of meals\, including hot breakfast\, bag lunch\, and dinner\, are offered from Monday\, June 29th through Saturday\, July 4th. Pack lunches and snacks are provided daily so you can paint the landscape. Our final dinner will be a traditional Downeast Maine Lobster Supper.\nTravel:\nThe retreat-workshop does not provide transportation. Participants will need their own vehicle in order to drive themselves between sites within the park. By Car-Schoodic Institute is a nine (9) hour drive from New York City by car. By Air-Flights from New York City to Bangor International Airport are approximately one-and-a-half (1.5) hours. Major car rental companies are available at the airport. The drive from Bangor\, Maine to Schoodic Institute is approximately one-and-a-half (1.5) hours.\nFees:\nThe retreat-workshop fees are $2\,395 and cover 7 nights lodging\, 6 days of 3 square meals\, and 1 memorable educational experience to transform your painting practice!  (Local commuter rates and non-painting partner rates are available too upon request.)\nFor more information and to enroll\, please visit:\nhttps://www.academyeverywhere.com/courses/in-person-landscape-painting-in-acadia-maine-workshop-summer-2026
