River Gallery School to take artists to Mexico in February

Wednesday, December 7, 2016 — Issue 386

BRATTLEBORO — The River Gallery School will take artists in search of inspiration and sunshine to Mexico in February on a tour led by instructor Mary Giammarino. The trip will be based in Oaxaca and run from Feb. 4 to 11, 2017.

In the mornings, the tour will introduce participants to the sights of southern Mexico, with daily instruction in oils, water colors and pastels by the trip's resident art instructor.

Afternoons and evenings will be devoted to exploring the small city's many galleries, workshops and art museums, not to mention the excellent cuisine.

Brattleboro's River Gallery School has previously run artist tours to Italy and Spain.
