We are an experimental creative bootcamp run by badass artists on a real quarantine island in Menorca, Spain.

Over the week, you’ll dive into daily boot camps, each run by a different artist. We keep it intimate -no more than 12 artists per mentor.

This is a RARE edition (big surprise) inspired by The Art Spirit by Robert Henri. This Quarantine is designed to stop you from being an invisible, harmless artist. It's a call to be fearless, authentic, and unapologetically you.

“…The object isn’t to make art, it’s to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable”. —Robert Henri

Still dreaming of a perfect little workshop where you sit quietly at the feet of your art hero?

Cool -this isn’t one of them.

No more technique. No more quick fixes. Just new questions:

Why do I make art?

What do I want to create?

What do I see when I look?

You don’t need more tools.

You don’t need more technique.

You don’t need more lessons.

You need to remember.

Remember why you started.

Understand why you continue.

You need a mind ready to use what you already have.

It won’t be easy.

It’s not for everyone.

April 2025. The island is ready.

We’ll be there — with these artists who’ve walked the fire:

Edward Povey Jeremy Mann James McCrae Nadezda Martin Wittfooth Miles Johnston

We've crafted this edition to be a compass for finding your voice, a powerful experiment to free your artistic vision from inhibition.

In just one week, participants can see a profound transformation.

Not by the book, but by your gut.

Expectations vs. Reality

“This isn’t what I expected”
“It’s too expensive”
“No phones at all, really?”
Review your motives
This will be a powerful experience that would help any artist to build a living career. I cannot recommend it enough. No amount of research or thinking will increase your information about this. Sign up, go to it, experience it, and afterwards you will thank me. — Edward Povey.
