Artful Journeys, LLC As director, founder and owner, Joan Hill organizes art-focused journeys for artists, musicians, collectors, and those interested in the arts.

Artful Journeys LLC (formerly Tuscany: A Journey for the Senses) offers annual educational art vacations which so far have featured hands-on art workshops, such as painting, or tours with a single focus, such as sculpture, music, wine and food. Most workshops are one week long; the tours are longer - up to 2 weeks. The common thread that links all of our artists and trips is passion: passion for art, work and life. AJ is abundant with people who are doing what they were born to do.

For the last three weeks in our poetry group, we've been exploring interior and exterior rhyming, along with alliteration and repetition. This week people are using those devices in their self-composed poems. Here's an excellent example:

Creativity comes in all forms. One that has been through thick and thin is the LPS (Living Poets Society). Meeting once a week for over a year and sharing poems of a certain poet or theme, these poets, themselves, have been having a grand time. Tears have been shed, some happy, some sad, but overall, they have created a bond like no other. Here is a poem from one of the self-composed gatherings by Trish Callan titled, "The Wanderer."
To become a wanderer yourself, please check out our upcoming trips coming in 2022: https://www.artfuljourneysllc.com/2022

THE WANDERER

It started with postcards from exotic places,
Dolls in colorful ethnic costumes, arriving in the mail.
The Bohemian at the door with a paper sack for a suitcase,
Mother appalled, Dad in awe, but he never ceased to charm us all.

Letters exchanged over the years did nothing to dim his aura.
He wrote such beautiful images and stories dotted with his wry humor.
We reconnected through these and frequent visits.
We came out to each other and shared our joy of it.
I learned more about myself and my Dad’s family,
That my Dad didn’t share with his young daughters.

Now I return the favors.
My cherished uncle travels with me on my trips.
I know he is thrilled and
I leave a part of him each time to reconnect with his roots.

MUSINGS ON JULY 4TH

What is Independence? I’m thinking about freedom.

The United States became known as the place where people could be free to practice their beliefs, but only if they were white (men). At the same time, and since early in the 17th century, we were kidnapping and enslaving Africans, who grew and harvested the crops, worked the land, cleaned the houses, cooked for the masters and did any other bidding, usually under fear of punishment. In 1863, these Africans were legally set free. Their freedom was quite different from the freedom of whites. It still is.

So, is independence freedom? What is freedom?

Our Story

About

Founded in 2008, Artful Journeys offers educational vacations for specific art forms (i.e., Plein air painting, photography, cooking, art history, and classical music) taught by artists whose passion and mastery inspires students. We usually offer between 5 and 8 trips annually.

Initially, our company was entitled Tuscany: A Journey for the Senses because we centered our trips in the Val d’Orcia of southern Tuscany. In early 2015 we changed our name to Artful Journeys to reflect the broader geographical areas to which we journeyed.

Examples of our 2019 journeys include “A Brush with Portugal 3,” a Plein air painting workshop in Cascais, Portugal; “Pedaling Through Paris and England,” an exploration of pipe organs in Paris and Norwich, England; and “Cucinare in Chianti,” a cooking class in Greve in Chianti, Tuscany.
