Join us in late September as Colorado’s San Juan Mountains come alive with vibrant fall color. Based in the charming town of Durango, this workshop offers the perfect base for exploring some of the Southwest’s most iconic scenery — from golden aspen groves along the Million Dollar Highway to the timeless beauty of Mesa Verde National Park.
You’ll spend your days immersed in the landscape, chasing light through mountain passes and quiet forests ablaze with color. Evenings bring warm meals, meaningful conversations, and the kind of connection that makes these trips unforgettable. Whether you’re refining your technical skills or simply seeking inspiration, this is a chance to create truly memorable images, and memories, in one of the most photogenic corners of the American West.
Also, as a special offering, Art has decided to give each participant a signed and numbered collectors edition copy of his favorite book the “Human Canvas.” (Valued at $400)
