The Heritage America Art Workshops are coordinated by the Society of
Figurative Arts and designed to give students a significant art
experience as well as being fun. The workshops are purposely located in
historic venues with large bed and breakfast options and local
activities.
Jefferson, Texas is such a venue. Historic, with fantastic plein air
scenes, a significant bed and breakfast industry, and a small town
warmth make Jefferson a perfect place for the workshops. The plans for
the workshop will at least include wine tasting, a bayou cruse, a dinner
or two at unique local restaurants, and happy hours where all of the
students from the three workshops can socialize. Other plans are in the
works. The two other workshops are:
"Heads, Faces, and Features" Multimedia workshop by Michael Mentler

"Still Life" Oil Painting workshop by Timothy C. Tyler

Jefferson, Texas:
When you visit Jefferson, Texas, you take a
journey back through time to a bustling 10th Century river port, an era
of prosperity and wealth, of petticoats and parasols, of Southern grace
and romance. Today's Jefferson is reminiscent of its heyday, with
antique shops lining the original brick streets, horse-drawn carriage
tours, and even a trip on a steam paddle boat.
History enthusiasts come to Jefferson for an
authentic experience, to walk among well-preserved buildings and tour
the beautiful, Greek revival homes, touch the artifacts and see the
museums, and maybe hear a ghost story or two. Couples come to unwind,
unplug, and reconnect in the Bed & Breakfast Capital of East Texas.
