SOUTH AFRICA
Cape Town (best season October to April):
Cape Town is the most visited touristic city in South Africa. Many artists are living in the city where one can find a hub of galleries. Many options of subject matters could be found in and around the Cape, from seascapes/harbor scenes, to winelands, or whatever. This is the permanent home of Marion Geiger where she has her main studio.
Marion Geiger has partnered with her friends from the group Newmark Hotels that owns 4 hotels in Cape Town (3-stars, 4-stars and 5-stars), in or near the Waterfront (the most vibrant area in the city), where package deals for the artists can be organised.
· La Splendida 3-stars: This chic hotel is ideally situated on the bustling Mouille Point promenade – Cape Town’s own “platinum mile”, minutes away from the sights and sounds of the Atlantic Seaboard’s happening beaches and bars as well as the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Stroll along the promenade or just soak up the sun’s rays from the comfort of your room.
Art retreat: minimum 6 guests, maximum 8 guests in 3 to 8 bedrooms for 7 nights on a bed, breakfast and lunch basis including the art classes and local ground transport but excluding art equipment and diners.
