A vibrant community for artists hosted by Sally-Anne Ashley

ARTHOUSE RETREAT STUDIO is an exciting, virtual studio space where Artists and Creatives come together to connect, experiment, explore and build momentum in their creative practice.   

Imagine ARTHOUSE RETREAT STUDIO as a gorgeous industrial building with many floors, each bustling with creativity as artists work away in their studios. Imagine that one of those studios is yours, it’s light, airy and wonderfully inviting! Whether you’re swinging by for a virtual cup of coffee and a quick chat, staying for a while to share your work and immerse yourself in deep, arty conversations or hunkering down for a workshop or course, the doors are open for you.

No matter the reason for your visit, the community lies at the heart of this space. Feel free to take what you need and contribute what you can. This is more than just a place; it's a living, breathing support network where our collective energies thrive. A supportive community where our artistic endeavours and expressions can bloom, a place to bring our whole selves, a place of encouragement and acceptance, a place where we feel empowered about who we are and a place where we make our most authentic work! 

Guided by me, Sally-Anne Ashley, a mixed-media, abstract artist, this community is a reflection of my holistic approach to creativity. It’s a space where art meets wellbeing, blending mindfulness, self-expression and personal growth. Together, we’ll explore the intersections of art and life, creating a supportive environment that encourages each member to connect deeply with their authentic voice and inner self.

At ARTHOUSE RETREAT STUDIO, we cultivate an ever-evolving space dedicated to creativity, personal growth and artistic connection. Here, artists and creatives of all backgrounds and disciplines are welcomed into a community that nurtures both their artistic journey and their well-being. This vibrant space offers multiple ways to engage, each designed to support and inspire you.

Current offerings include:

• THE ARTHOUSE: Our exclusive members' club is designed for artists and creatives seeking a supportive, self-directed approach to their practice. With monthly prompts, conversations with inspiring creatives and a range of LIVE sessions, members gain diverse opportunities to engage, build momentum and sustain a fulfilling and consistent creative practice.

• CREATIVE SHIFT: My 10-week signature course, CREATIVE SHIFT, is an immersive, annual program that guides artists and creatives through a transformative journey to help navigate the shifts in their work and practice. 

ARTHOUSE RETREAT STUDIO is more than a virtual studio – we are a thriving community dedicated to growth, exploration and the pursuit of creative fulfilment!

THE ARTHOUSE is an exclusive members club designed for artists and creatives who seek a supportive, self-directed space to deepen and sustain their practice. Designed as a vibrant virtual community, THE ARTHOUSE is built on intention and purpose, encouraging members to dive fully into their creative journey. Through monthly prompts and an array of LIVE sessions, members gain diverse opportunities to engage, build momentum and cultivate a fulfilling and consistent practice. Each month kicks off with a reflective, intention-setting session where members are encouraged to build a mini-framework to guide their month with focus and motivation. From journaling exercises to creative challenges, our prompts spark fresh ideas and add new layers to every artist's process. This isn’t just a community; it’s a structured environment where creatives connect, explore and hold each other accountable. If you're looking for a space that understands the journey of an artist, THE ARTHOUSE is here to support, inspire and empower you every step of the way.

CREATIVE SHIFT is a transformative 10-week journey designed to help artists and creatives unlock clarity and find a deeper connection to their work. Through a structured blend of guided explorations, thought-provoking prompts and live Q&A sessions, this course offers a powerful framework for building your unique creative process. CREATIVE SHIFT isn’t a technique-based course - you’ll uncover what truly matters in your work, and develop a sustainable, self-directed practice that supports your growth. Each week, you'll explore topics such as Visual Elements, Materials & Processes and Inspirations that define your art, helping you explore and connect the threads that make your work authentically yours. From deep reflections to real-time support from a like-minded community, CREATIVE SHIFT provides you with a thoughtfully curated experience to break old patterns and confidently move forward.
