Mallorca, Spain

This trip is full for 2025.

Do you like to make art on location, travel, and explore new lands? This adventure gives the artist exciting opportunities to work on location and offers unique environments in which to photograph, draw, sketch, document, collage, video, or journal in the rich multifaceted landscapes and geographies of Mallorca, Spain.

Students enjoy a full range of cultural activities, which includes field trips to historic landmarks, castles and palaces, archaeological sites and ruins, museums and galleries, markets, and festivals. Daily excursions offer students a series of direct exchanges and encounters with the local people, places, and customs of Mallorca. Students work in cities, small towns, and villages, along the shore, and in the countryside. Individual and personal interpretations, expressions, and viewpoints will detail and map the unique experience of each artist.

Mallorca is a small island and can be easily traversed. It is a cartographer’s dream of rugged mountains and vertiginous cliffs, hidden coastal bays and inlets, vast fertile plains, dense forests, winding roads, and narrow byways. The island offers a constellation of contrasts: epic vistas, serene white sand beaches, historical ramparts and ruins, and hamlets of quiet charm and distinction.

The rural and urban topography of Mallorca is the vocabulary of evolution, of successive generations that have given shape and structure to the island. They are the historical sculptors, contemporary stewards, and guardians of influence that continue to shape this culturally rich, diverse, kind, and beautiful land.

The majority of the time spent on the island will be devoted to working on location. Each day students will have time and access to the school to back up any electronic work, write, work, and reflect on the day’s events and experiences.
