Travel—it captures your mind and heart and imagination. What a glorious way to spend a week! Horizons To Go Programs have now been running for almost a decade. Over these years we have established special relationships with the people who live in the regions we visit, with our goal being to make these experiences have real meaning; to bring folks to places and introduce them to people they might not otherwise encounter. Our groups are small to give us lots of flexibility and avoid being a tour. Workshops are small too—structured to accommodate novices and challenge those who are advanced in a medium. Good food, places to stay that have real character...all this is important to us too. Artistic vacations and educated travel focusing on the visual arts. Horizon's small group trips, (14 or less), include Italy, Ireland, Spain, Belize, Nepal, American Southwest, France, Mexico, NYC, and Thailand. Do connect if you need more information—we hope you'll join us on a learning adventure!
