Art Rendezvous annual painting workshop

Casita Carolina is proud to sponsor the annual 'Art Rendezvous' for painters.

The Rendezvous is held every year the first full week of February.

Artists assemble on the Sunday prior to scout locations of interest.

Monday through Friday we will paint a different location in and around Bacalar, completing a minimum of five paintings per artist by Friday evening.

On Saturday, we hang the paintings for the show, we invite the town, and have a party.

Paintings are priced by each artist. Other local artisans may be invited to display their crafts. A truly international event, the Art Rendezvous show brings community and creative expression together to create a unique experience you will remember forever.

Saturday's exhibition begins at 5pm and goes until we send everyone home.

The artist fee pays for the extra help, food, drinks, and supplies needed for the show.

Each artist is expected to mat their own pictures and help hang the art for exhibition.

In addition to this unique artistic experience, there is bird watching, kayaking, biking, swimming, fishing, incredible Mayan ruins, and more.

Join us for this unforgettable experience. Contact Casita Carolina's now to reserve your spot in the Art Rendezvous.

The numerous options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are agreed upon Sunday evening. Meals can be communal affair or we may vote to hire a cook. There are also several wonderful restaurants in Bacalar that would be happy to cater our needs.

If you prefer to prepare your own food, the local markets carry a large selection of fresh vegetables and fruit. The numerous butcher shops can provide fresh meats.

SUPPLIES:

All paintings must be matted for exhibition. We suggest you bring a minimum of five mats for your paintings in the size you like to paint.

Extra mats are greatly appreciated and can be sold to the 'mat kitty'. If you forget your mats you can buy some from the 'kitty' for a small price. If you have extra paints, brushes, or paper, also bring them along - someone always forgets something and it's a long drive away from the nearest art supply store.
