Supporter Tier
Why Invest in H4 Retreats?
Investing in the Future of Art
We recognize that the passion for art extends beyond corporations. Our Supporter Tier offers individuals, foundations, and small entities a meaningful way to contribute to the vibrancy of the arts and the success of H4 Retreats. Your financial contributions directly help us maintain accessible retreat fees for artists and support the operational expenses necessary to create exceptional learning experiences.
Our Structure
Our retreats are built upon these core tenants:
- HEARTH (EncaustiCamp): Held at the origins of EncaustiCamp, Hearth is about the foundation, the core conviction, and renewal of artistic passion that set this structure in place in 2010.
- HORIZON (EncaustiCamp): This is about building into the future and pushing creative boundaries, expanding expressive capabilities, and exploring new artistic territories. Offered in the 'east', near Nashville, TN, this second location helps bring more accessibility to those unable to travel to the origins on the west coast.
- HAVEN (WinterWax): A deeper investment of time and attention offering introspection, clarity, and discovering as well as creative business development and personal success practices that continue to fortify the structure Hearth and Horizon have established. Held annually since 2016, the return of WinterWax will set a precedence for unleveling artistic practice and endurance.
- HONE (EncaustiCastle): Our residency program offers dedicated support to artists seeking to elevate their craft and hone their skills, with the aim of establishing a lasting creative legacy that extends far beyond their habitation.
Imagine the impact of your support:
- Fueling Artistic Passion: Your contribution directly empowers enthusiastic artists, providing them with the space and resources to explore new techniques and elevate their creative journeys. You become a vital catalyst in their artistic growth.
- Cultivating a Vibrant Creative Community: By partnering with us, you're fostering a supportive and collaborative environment where artists connect, inspire one another, and build lasting relationships. Your support nurtures a thriving ecosystem of artistic innovation.
- Creating Enduring Artistic Legacies: Your investment goes beyond a single event; it helps us craft immersive experiences that leave a lasting impact on artists, shaping their future work and contributing to a richer artistic landscape for years to come.
Looking ahead, your support today will also contribute to a unique opportunity for art acquisition in the future. As we cultivate a thriving community of artists through our retreats, we envision showcasing their exceptional works in future auctions.
Your early partnership positions you to receive priority access to these original pieces, allowing you to become a patron of emerging talent and enrich your collection with truly unique creations.
Join us in nurturing artistic potential and building a legacy of creativity together.
As always seeking and aspiring to reach more, teach more, inspire more.
Warmly,
Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch
