The Spring Mentoring Program is led by two painters, Dusseldorf-based Jutta Haeckel and New York-based Kevin Wixted.  The Program runs for a four-week period, and includes both cohort and individual meetings. The first four weeks are conducted online by Zoom, and consist of critique, readings and conversation. The final two weeks take place in the studios at Monte Castello di Vibio, where you meet and work with your cohort members and faculty. Each artist has a private studio, and participates in weekly individual and group critiques. Research excursions to Assisi, Perugia and Orvieto occur weekly. Here you will build a lasting community of colleagues while experiencing great Italian art and culture. The course culminates with a group exhibition.
