ECOAA Fall Art Retreat, Galilee, Arnprior October 20 - 22 / 2025 The timing for fall colours should be perfect. I am excited to be chosen as demo - artist in residents for this ECOAA Retreat and I'm looking forward to meeting friends old and new. p.s. The Retreat turned out to be very successful, with a full slate of 30 artists. I enjoyed giving an indoor demo - because of inclemently weather, on the first day. The following day was bright and clear and many artists got out to paint the fall colours. The results of their endeavours were shared with everyone after supper. Well done! Charlie

ECOAA East Central Ontario Art Association I've been a member of ECOAA since 1980. The association has a large membership made up of artist working in all mediums. The majority of their activities are centered in the Belleville, Peterborough, Markham areas and as far north as Algonquin Park. Their specialty is well-organized plein air weekends with accommodation and studio space provided. Included are painting demonstrations by accomplished artists and instruction in some cases. It's a great way to learn more and meet interesting people. Charlie Spratt, ECOAA Ottawa Rep For more information see https://www.ecoaa.ca
