For nearly 30 years, an incredible group of artists have converged on The Leadership Center to spend time creating, fellowshipping and enjoying a beautiful week with friends.

Art Run Away was founded by the sweetest person, Steph Hansen. For many years, she organized this retreat and invited artists from all over to join her on a week of creating and fellowship. About 5 years ago, The Leadership Center took over this event to ease the administration of it all. As many know, our dear friend, Steph passed away after fiercely battling cancer. Through it all, she found time to create art, laughter, and joy everywhere she went. She encouraged us to continue to offer this time to encourage others to create art, laughter, and joy too! Whether you knew her or not, if you are an artist who wants to create art in a space that is warm and welcoming, please consider joining us. This time is open to any artist looking to retreat and work on their art. There are several "regulars" every year as well as "new" friends. ALL ARE WELCOME.

Every attendee will recieve an 8ft table and chair to work at in the Art Studio. The studio opens on Sunday at 9 a.m. and does not close until Friday at 6 p.m.

You are welcome to bring your projects and supplies to get your creative juices flowing! We will offer a light continental breakfast each morning from 7:30-9 a.m. if you'd like to pick up something light.
