ARC Living Master Thomas Kegler will be partnering with the La Romita School in the central region of Italy in Umbria to offer a Plein Air Landscape Painting Workshop. The school is housed in an exquisitely renovated sixteenth century Capuchin monastery surrounded by olive groves. This all inclusive workshop brings their decades-long expertise to make this a truly unique, intimate, and authentic Italian experience. You just bring your personal art supplies and enthusiasm.

This workshop is catered for artists of all skill levels from very beginners to professionals. Kegler will cover all aspects of landscape painting from the initial concept sketches, field studies done “en plein air”, and studio composition approaches. Although he will work in oil, pencil, watercolor and pastel artists are most welcome to participate. You can work at your own pace, whether it be slow and meditative, or more immersive and driven.

The workshop runs from August 19th - August 29th, 2025.

Please visit the website for more information and to sign up. This will be a small group and spaces are limited, so please reach out soon!

Celebrate the 250th anniversary of Joseph Mallord William Turner’s birth by viewing twelve of his watercolors from the Taft Museum of Art and the Cincinnati Art Museum. J. M. W. Turner: Watercolor Horizons is the first exhibition in nearly forty years to bring together the two museums’ luminous works by Turner in this medium. Considered one of Britain’s greatest landscape painters, Turner (English, 1775–1851) was a master of the art of watercolor. A prolific artist and intrepid traveler, he was especially drawn to mountains, alpine lakes, glaciers, river valleys, and the sea, as well as the human presence within these dramatic settings.

The show runs from March 1 – June 15, 2025 at the Taft Museum of Art, 316 Pike Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202.

ARC Associate Living Master Mark Harrison is holding a solo show of evocative, symbolic landscapes exploring the concept of "home" and it's intrinsic connection to the landscape. The warm glow of light that emanates from each structure becomes a metaphor for the resilience and spirit within all of us set against the backdrop of uncertain futures.

The imagined settings transcend specific locations offering the viewer a chance to reflect on their personal sense of belonging amidst the changing world. Each composition invites an emotional connection suggesting that home is as much a state of mind as a place.

Harrison’s fascination with the vastness of the American Landscape is evident throughout the 15 paintings all employing a panoramic format that add a layer of grandeur and reflection to the themes of home and humanity which together create a series of paintings that speak both to the personal and the universal.

The show takes place at the Abend Gallery, 1261 Delaware Street, Suite 2, Denver, CO 80204 and runs from April 5 -19, 2025.
