Program Description

1-30th of September of 2018 Artists' Cultural Exchange (ACE) will be hosting artists at Art Farm in the countryside near the village of Fennville, Michigan. The land is beautiful with tiny lakes, islands and rivers. The Art Barn has a metal and wood shop. Painters can paint the scenery on the land or take a bus to paint at Lake Michigan or in the lovely town of Saugatuck. Paper makers will have access to supplies, a Holland beater and vats. One weekend will be spent at American homes getting to know the Americans and their culture and foods. A trip to Chicago and Detroit will be planned to go to museums and galleries. We hope to have an exhibition of the artists' work as well.
