Berridge Creative Cultures Fall 2024

I decided to take a gap year to learn about myself, to be present, travel, and to finally discover who I am as an artist. So naturally I applied to Berridge Programs, I was quickly accepted and in what felt like no time at all I was on a plane to France. From the very first moment I met the students, staff and teachers I knew this experience would be unforgettable. And it was. For the first three weeks we traveled through many French cities, experimented with countless artistic mediums such as painting, photography, writing and more. Ultimately leading to a 5 week residence in a chateau in Brix. Through this program I have honed and improved my artistic abilities, I have made amazing friends, and I have learned so much about myself.

I recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn about themselves, about others, who wants to be a creative and be in the moment. There is a culture and atmosphere in this program that fosters compassion, togetherness, imagination and ingenuity. And above all, live in France for a lengthy two artistic months.
