Art Retreats
The Smiley Manse | Springfield, Vermont
In 2022, Jennifer and her partner, Nate, purchased an 1800s historic home in the heart of New England and transformed it into a welcoming retreat space for artists.
Each summer, instructors from around the world host 4-6 day immersive retreats in painting, illustration, collage, hand lettering, and more inside one of the finest carriage barns in the region – located at the back of the Smiley property.
Reviews from Retreat Participants:
“The property was magical and made me feel like a kid again. I also enjoyed the hands-on aspect of collage; it felt accessible for someone who is new to making.” –Kristen
“I’ve spent lots of time and money on my art business and this was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” –Sarah
