The Cowpasture River Preservation Association and Fort Lewis Lodge & Farm invite artists of any medium to join us for The Sixth Annual CRPA Artist Retreat at Fort Lewis. Offering over 3,300 acres of open fields, mountains, forests, wildflowers, and birds, and featuring 3-miles of the scenic Cowpasture River, Fort Lewis is the perfect place to gather with fellow artists and create in a beautiful outdoor setting. This 4-day event includes a nightly social hour which will offer participants an opportunity to mingle and discuss their art over a glass of wine or beer. The event is non-juried and open to the first 30 artists who register.
