Art Workshop:  $710 ($550 for the workshop and $160 each for art studio rental)

 

Optional Field Trips: Both tours are optional. If you don't wish to visit the O'Keeffe studio you can hang out with Darla for a different outing at the same time. 

For artists and guests (please check) Prices per person based on 2022 fees (indicate how many)

                                             ___ Georgia O’Keeffe Landscape Tour--$45

Rooms: Your 7 days/6 nights of lodging includes daily meals with the exception of one dinner outing in Abiquiu. Ghost Ranch charges a $5/person Conservation Fee which has been added to the summation below. Rooms on the Main Ranch Level have been reserved. Early requests for other room types have a better chance of availability. The best rooms the Ranch has to offer with private bathroom for each room are reserved for our use. If you want a dorm type room let Darla know ASAP. These are a bit cheaper but require early reservation. A semi-private is two bedrooms that share a bath. The savings is $10 each per night. To save on cost, some rooms can accommodate more than 2 people, if interested, ask for details. Check the lodging tab for more info. All rooms are reserved years in advance, are released one month before the event and most likely cannot be reclaimed. Payments are non-refundable.

 

For camping and RV's: Make your own arrangements directly through the Ranch. See the lodging tab to the left. Meals are not included but can be added (breakfast $10, lunch $12, dinner $14). Reservations must be made directly through the office with Ghost Ranch (505.685.4333). The $5 Conservation fee/person is additional. If it is a large RV, you may want to rent a golf cart for the week as the RV area is far from the art studio and dining hall. Payment for the workshop & art studio space ($710) is payable to Darla along with tours you wish to take. 

 

NOTE: The figures below were adjusted in October 2023 to reflect the increase in the Georgia O'Keeffe home/studio tour as well as the increase of our art studio space.
