The 2020 Pandemic postponed plans for our May 2020 Art Adventure Abroad to Italy. The trip rescheduled for 2022 has also been postponed as we search for a good time of year and give the world a chance to recover from the pandemic. The same trip you can read about under the 2020 Italy tab is happening in 2023! Dates and pricing details will be added as soon as possible. If you want to be a part of this small group, contact Darla and she will keep you "in the loop" and will post information here as soon as possible! The La Romita folks recorded my presentation: Check out my video presentation on my Art Trips https://youtu.be/beDIiK72fCI Don't want to wait for 2023?
