ART�ESCAPES�WORKSHOP�
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
March 16‐23, 2015
Led by Dory Kanter, author of Art Escapes
PLUS Optional Printmaking Workshop ‐ March 12‐16, 2015
The Hotel Hacienda el Santuario is located on a quiet, historic lane in the heart of charming San Miguel.
njoy an enchanted week in San Miguel de Allende filled with
inspiring art instruction, culture, cuisine and time to relax and discover
this 400‐year old Spanish‐colonial jewel. Nestled in the Sierra Madre
mountains in central Mexico lies the quaint village of San Miguel de
Allende, designated a national historic monument by the Mexican
government. With narrow cobblestone streets, colorful markets and
fiestas, numerous shops, galleries and fine restaurants, San Miguel is a
favorite destination for artists, writers and discriminating world
travelers. It has the feel of a European city with the verve of the
Mexican culture. A center for the arts and home to an international
community of artists, San Miguel enjoys Condé Nast Travel Magazine’s
rating as one of the ten most desirable foreign cities in the world to
visit. Indeed, its air of tranquility stimulates the mind and pleases the
soul. Our home in San Miguel is the beautiful Hotel Hacienda el Santuario,
set in a restored 18th century villa with splashing fountains, plant‐filled
patios, and vine covered walls. An oasis located just a few blocks from
the town square, each room is beautifully decorated with elegant
antique decor and private tiled bathrooms. Enjoy the rooftop terraces
and Jacuzzi, perfect for watching magical San Miguel sunsets.
This peaceful corner of the world offers abundant opportunities for
painting, journaling and photography – ranging from intimate
courtyards and lush gardens, to open air markets and the arid high
plains of Mexico’s central plateau. Enjoy the daily practice of painting
and creating an artistic travel journal. We will have ample free time to
wander through San Miguel’s exceptional collection of galleries and
shops and enjoy its many restaurants offering international cuisine.
San Miguel boasts a nearly perfect climate. March will have warm and
sunny days in the high 70’s and cool nights that require a light wrap.
San Miguel’s charming cobblestone lanes and compact central district
encourage walking.

Comments from past participants “You instilled in me the confidence to paint again and I can't thank you enough for
doing so. It was such a wonderful release to be able to journal and then portray in
painting what I was feeling. Perfect location. Your teaching of the color triads is brilliant
and a direct reflection of all your years of dedication to your craft. Years ago I took a
color class on Johannes Itten and you made it all make sense just using 3 colors at a
time. Wonderful approach and your choice of pigments
works perfectly. The techniques taught were fascinating, as
is your book.” Nancy Dauray, West Palm Beach, Florida
“Thank you for your hard work and excellent soul. You pay attention, teach us to pay
attention. You analyze what you do and translate it into excellent lessons. You give us
tools we can take home to make art. Your expertise, excellent teaching and enthusiasm
help us see a new world full of color. It is one thing to be an artist, quite another thing to
teach art. You do both! Thank you for one of the best weeks in my
life.” Kathleen Hughes, Tucson, Arizona
“My trip journal is complete and everyone who has seen it is jealous
of the fantastic time I had. I am looking forward to spending a little
time every day drawing and painting. You are a very special lady ...
an inspiration to so many people and to me personally. Thank you
for your generous spirit.” Ricki Golick, Alberta, Canada
“I am still basking in the San Miguel glow. I feel so fortunate to have shared such a
perfect week among such bright, caring, imaginative and humorous people. I have my
memories and photos to remind me of our time in the studio, cooking together, walking
the cobblestones, and sharing our ideas and art.” Joyce Zobel, Palm Desert, California
Travel Arrangements You can make your travel arrangements or purchase insurance through your own travel agent or through Linda
Fisher at Willamette Travel. I, and many of my past workshop participants, have made arrangements through
Linda and I can enthusiastically recommend her. She would be happy to hear from you. Call Linda at 503‐224‐
0180 or email her at [email protected].
t is with great pleasure that I offer this very special opportunity to study printmaking with master artist and teacher, Hugo Anaya, in the beautiful nearby town of Guanajuato. This class is specially designed as a complement to my San Miguel workshop. Participants will use the color triads in a new way ‐ to make prints! You will be generously guided and assisted through all the steps of the printmaking process so that you come away with newfound skills and brilliantly personal finished prints. Explore charming Guanajuato, filled with inviting parks, plazas, cafés and restaurants, museums and architecture from a rich past and vibrant present. Guanajuato is a culturally rich small Colonial city located 1.5 hours drive from San Miguel. Participants will stay at a charming and well‐appointed B&B, located in the historic center of town. Guanajuato is a delightful place to walk and wander at your own pace as you discover its festive local color and charm.
