Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *ABOUT:* ART ESCAPE is a back-to-basics Eco Art Resort, an arts hub, an innovation centre and a knowledge sharing and experiential platform. It’s a quaint back to basics resort with 12 independent bamboo cottages along with an active resto-lounge bar & dedicated workshop cum relaxation space in the best part of GOA. It’s a stones throw from the beautiful vaddi beach that offers white sands, a very friendly sea, no crowds and yet, only a walk away from the buzzing Benaulim beach. It is also a hub of creative activities like Art, Sculpture, Music, Theatre, Dance, Yoga, Recycling, Design, Innovation etc with onsite events and physical workshops to even organized experiential workshops ranging from a days to 3-4 days or longer. Thirdly and most importantly, its YOUR escape into a potentially creative experience, the depth of which only you will control as you wish. You could simply experience the events and workshops or choose to actively participate in them, taking back memorabilia and memories for a lifetime. For all the above activities, you could be our member, a walk-in guest, a creative seeking a place to settle for a bit while you ideate/experiment/share or you could be part of an organized group of any age. Kids especially will enjoy the wide-open spaces and the myriad opportunities to explore and express themselves through various experiential activities and workshops. For corporate groups, we offer special packages where our creative core team of experienced designers tailor-make team building activities and workshops that get the creative juices flowing. *COMPANY OVERVIEW:* ART ESCAPE is an initiative driven by experienced professionals who have a passion for all forms of creative arts and have a desire to forever continue to meet interesting people, collaborate, learn and then share with individuals and communities. You don't have to be an artist to give in to the experience of creative arts, but it will enrich your life in a much deeper way. Art escape is the first of its kind in India and we follow a flexible schedule to help you make the best use of your time. There is ample free time to wander the villages and beaches or simply relax. The weekends and some week nights set you free with avant-garde performances by renowned musicians (jazz, rock, blues, retro.. Etc). Something to look out for after sessions are fishing trips, sundown activities, visit an artist studio, bon-fires, wine & dine with live acoustic music and lots more. *RELAX | UNWIND | REFRESH * Stay with comfort, peace and tranquility at Art Escape.

Thanks for all the support, once again * * *MISSION:* Art Escape will collaborate with creative individuals across the nation and the world. This would start by becoming the hub of creative activity within itself too so that people could come and join, to share or to learn, or simply to partner for the greater goals such as environmental concerns and sustainable designs for the future. Art Escape has very strong social inclinations and for that we would like to introduce the big picture, The Inspire Project. The Inspire Project will host an environment created to facilitate, motivate, nurture and inspire those who would like to experience, exchange, share & learn all forms of art & design. Inspire Project will be realized through “Inspire Trust” that we are forming. This will take the support of individual, corporate and government funding to help reach our objective of a creative commune as well as solve social and sustainability problems in the local communities as well as as communities far away. We even hope to make this a platform where people from diverse backgrounds can realize their ideas by enabling them in collaboration with us or others to help develop the ideas. Another far away goal is to set-up an innovation school that promotes hands-on experimentation, a simple art that is getting ignored in all the design schools in the country where workshops are being replaced by classrooms in the pressures of adding more students.
