Join Kerri Ainsworth & chef NJ Lim for a 5 day Artist’s Retreat in beautiful, secluded Currawong on the shores of Pittwater

ABOUT THE RETREAT - CURRAWONG (PITTWATER)
Artist retreats are a way for artists to get out of their studio space or their day to day lives to reinvigorate their creative practice. It is also a great way to meet like-minded people and make new friends. All of this in the beautiful, tranquil surroundings of Currawong on Pittwater and pampered by our super chef, whose cooking skills are legendary!

This absolute waterfront setting is nestled on the fringe of the stunningly beautiful Ku-ring-gai National Park, only 40kms from the Sydney CBD and can only be accessed by ferry. For this reason, it’s deliciously private.

YOUR HOST KERRI AINSWORTH Kerri Ainsworth (set designer, installation artist and traveller), was inspired by her passion for art and travel to design creative adventures for people, like herself, looking for a more authentic and immersive travel experience. Her background is in film, television and events as a Production Designer, Artist and Creative Director. The scope of her practice included designing and project managing the fabrication and installation of large-scale artworks and environments for Special Events and Public Spaces. Kerri has a Masters Degree in Art & Design from the University of NSW, specialising in Public Art Installation, Event Design and Sustainable Practice.

ACCOMMODATION AT CURRAWONG

The main accommodation is in a heritage homestead built by Dr Bernard Stiles in 1916. Originally called “Africa,” it was later renamed “Midholme.” You can also stay in iconic Aussie beachside cottages (built in the early 1950s, some of which have recently been renovated), all with spectacular views of Pittwater. The price of the workshop varies, depending on your choice of accommodation. Midholme and the renovated cottages are more comfortable and upmarket, than the more rustic cottages, which have an internal shower and outdoor toilet. Currawong is accessible only by ferry from Palm Beach.

Cost based on a minimum of 12 guests. Non painting partners are very welcome. There is plenty to do and see in the area from bush walking, swimming, tennis and reading.
