Join InLiquid Member Artist Chris Cox in France’s Loire Valley for an abstract art retreat, 21st – 28th September 2026

Immerse yourself in a week of creativity, culture, and connection at Les Peupliers Loire, a peaceful, adults-only B&B nestled between Saumur and Chinon in the heart of the Loire Valley. Abstract artist and InLiquid member Chris Cox will lead this art retreat where you’ll explore the breathtaking landscapes, historic châteaux, and vibrant village markets — and transform your experiences into expressive abstract works.

Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply eager to explore abstraction, this retreat offers a nurturing environment with expert guidance, daily inspiration, and time to explore your abstract creativity.

This retreat has been designed for experienced artists as well as those who are keen to explore abstract art for the first time.Chris will guide you through the experience of gaining inspiration from the local area in the autumn to create abstract landscapes. For those who are inclined to do more non-objective abstracts based on using line, color, shape and feelings, Chris will help participants to know what to look for in the local area to stimulate and develop their inspiration. The retreat is limited to 12 participants.
