May 5-8, 2025 | CMW Spring Painting Retreat At Riverside Conference Center in Cold Spring 

Sign up by February 10th for our Spring Painting Retreat.

It’s the opportunity to paint with other CMW members in a beautifully equipped, well-lit conference room with your own table and ample space to spread out. This has become a popular, annual tradition, and we welcome all to join in the fun. The hospitality shown by the owners is fantastic, and the setting on the Sauk River is a plus. 

Cost

The cost for four full days of painting and three nights at the motel is $320 if you would like to have a  room to yourself and $250 per person if you would like to share a room with someone. A full  continental breakfast is provided, and the coffee is always on. Each room has a mini fridge and  microwave. We enjoy eating some meals out, bringing snacks (and wine) to share, and have access  to the commercial kitchen adjacent to the conference room. There is also a tropical swimming pool and hot tub for us to enjoy. 

Deadlines

We have reserved fourteen rooms and hope to fill all of them. Please email Pat Spence by February 10th at [email protected] to let us know that you would like to participate and give a deposit payment of half the total amount to Ralph Carpenter, CMW Treasurer at 3225 15th Avenue  South, St. Cloud, MN 56301 either at the February meeting or by mail. Final payment will be due at  the April meeting. Checks should be made payable to Central MN Watercolorists. 

If you must cancel your participation, you will need to pay the full amount for your reservation  unless the motel is able to rent out the room. 

If you have any questions, contact Pat Spence or any of the board members.
