This past weekend I went to Nimrod Hall in Bath County Virginia to attend an artist workshop.
Nimrod was established in 1783. Originally it served as a summer resort dating back to the late 1800’s. It operated as Camp Nimrod for Boys and Girls from the 1930’s to 80’s then it became an Artist’s Retreat.
Read more about Nimrod’s history here.
I found the beauty of Nimrod to be the relaxed atmosphere where you could just relax and create with other artists who were there to do the same.
The beauty is inspiring. You feel as if you have stepped back in time with screen doors slamming, breezes blowing and wonderful old-fashioned 3 meals a day following the ringing of the dining hall bell. I really loved my time there.
Check out the information on the website. They have weeks and weekends for artists and writers. Many people go year after year so when they release the schedule in January you must sign up quickly to be assured a space. It’s worth the time and the money. Consider enjoying it for yourself.
