Made With Intention
Auric Summer is not a course. It is not a camp. It is not a corporate retreat with a mood board. It is 15 days in South Goa where 18 artists at a time get to do the one thing they never have enough time, space to do , make their best work, completely unbothered.
We take care of everything. The flights that get you here. The luxury property you wake up in. The meals on the table every morning, afternoon and evening. The canvases, the paints, the materials. The workshops with collaborators who are as serious about making as you are. You take care of one thing. Showing up.
Two batches. Eighteen artists each. Selected entirely by portfolio, by the collaborators, facilitators and the founder because the work is what matters here.
Auric Summer is for the artist who has been meaning to take a few days off. The illustrator who does their best work at 2am because that is the only quiet time they get. The graphic designer who has not made something purely for themselves in years. The printmaker who needs a press and a community and a beach view all at once.
This is that place.
