Our trips offer the chance to experience a behind-the-scenes view of the art world and the opportunity to meet fascinating people and places. At museums, galleries, private collections and artists’ studios, you are an active participant in “art encounters”-- a stimulating discussion approach to art and ideas. You return home knowing the place visited in a way not possible on your own.
