In 2017, the first annual Bedell Collection Artist Retreat was held in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas. Intended to provide artists an opportunity to connect with other artists, relax, and discuss their art, the retreat is held at Carl Bedell’s family property on the Spring River. The days are spent enjoying the beautiful Ozarks, visiting regional museums, learning to fly fish (another of Carl’s passions) and relaxing. Evenings include nightly artist talks and presentations.

The 2018 Artist Retreat will take place in early June. Planning is currently underway.

2017 Artist Retreat included Tim Hyde, Caitlin Teal Price, Avi Gupta and Serli Lala
