The 2026 Painted Prism Art Retreat in Estes Park, Colorado, was a huge success this year. There were 24 of us all together, June 17-21, 2026. The weather was absolutely perfect, the entire time we were up there.
Welcome Day was June 17th, with check-in, introductions, dinner/wine/cookies, and a fun painting game to kick off the retreat this year --
