Let's all hope the volcano has settled down and will stay calm so that our first ever Art Expedition to Italy can get off safely and return safely! Our group is set to fly to Rome May 8th, 2010. Eleven artists and seven companions will be taking the trip of a lifetime full of painting, tours and excursions and the warmth of Umbria, both the local color, tastes and sights and smells. Look for an art exhibition upon their return and feel like you got to travel with them yourself.
