What is an ARTIST RETREAT?

ARTIST RETREAT is a way for artists to get out of the studio space or their day to day lives to reinvigorate
their creative spark. Artists are invited to live in a different setting/environment, usually with other like-
minded creative types. It began to appear at the turn of the 19th century, as if in response to the growing
urban centers, the rumble of industry and the increasing pace of life. It offers an opportunity to work on
projects and hear the ideas of other committed artists over meals and drinks also offers an o pportunity
live and work outside of their usual environments, providing them with time to reflect,
research, or produce work. A novel environment allows different perspectives to arise. New friends
with similar passions provide support.

Artists can explore new locations, different cultures, and experiment with different materials.
Much like study abroad programs, residencies are often aimed at young artists and can end up
having a long-term impact on their life and work. The spirit of retreat is there when we carve time
to be alone. Whether in the studio or on a walk, time apart fosters the energy and drive to produce work.

Artists retreats are not limited to visual artists, painters, writers, composers. musicians, dancers and
designers.They can be for anyone looking for professional development or interested in enhancing their
creative work.Most artists and creatives need a break from everyday life… to really give themselves time and
space to connect with fellow artists and musicians, or connect with themselves on a short walk in nature.

Need of DESIGNING an ARTIST RETREAT (Hybrid Workplace)

A creative concept
An art retreat reflects its intention. That means an art retreat is totally unique, designed to inspire and fuel an
artist’s creative expression, without adhering to any strict structure or space parameters.

This facility is a place where professional artists may come when their creative inspiration is low. A retreat, in
a religious context, is a place where one goes to renew his/her spirituality. When the person leaves the
retreat, will have a stronger spiritual essence, a recreation of their devotion to their god. This retreat is a place
were artists come to relax and gain artistic enlightenment for their work. When the artist leaves, they would
have found a new direction for their work; they would be re-inspired to create art. The residing artists may
stay as long as they want, from weeks, to months, or even years. The artists should be able to work freely and
at their own schedules without any pressure or harassment. The artists' productivity shall be encouraged
through the visual and physical involvement with the surrounding nature available to them.

Effects of color in interior design

Interior design is a complex process which includes numerous steps from the concept development to the
design realization. Numerous factors affect the design of interior architecture of a space. One of the basic
quality factors of a realized interior design is color. Color is observed as a fundamental quality of our visual
perception. There are numerous developed theories and assumptions related to the esthetic comfort offered
by colors, and to their effect on human psyche. Colors are an integral part of the world we live in and their
impact on the human perception of the environment is irrefutable. Also, they are one of the most important
elements of an interior, so they represent a key factor in formation of a suitable space for living and working.
