OFFER 3-NIGHT PACKAGES FOR PAINTING GYPSIES WORKSHOP
ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands (April 16, 2007) -- Artists and painting enthusiasts can enhance their skills as part of The Painting Gypsies "Adventures in Plein-Air Painting" workshops which are being held this May in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Sister properties Bolongo Bay Beach Resort and The Inn at Villa Olga, both located in St. Thomas, are offering specially-priced three-night packages starting at $802 per person, which include admission for the three-day Painting Gypsies workshop.
The "Adventures in Plein-Air Painting" workshops provide individualized instruction from plein-air instructor and painter César Jerez as well as group critiques. Plein Air painting focuses on the process of painting as well as the influences of the great outdoors on artwork. Participants will also enjoy gourmet lunch and a wine and cheese gathering on the final day. The Painting Gypsies will offer two workshops in St. Thomas. The first is May 4-6 at Magen's Bay, St. Thomas' world-famous beach, and the second is May 9-11 at Villa Botanica, a privately-owned plantation.
The three-night package features accommodations, participation in the workshop, transfers between the hotel and painting site provided by Tropic Tours, and all taxes and surcharges. Guests who book Villa Olga for either workshop pay $802 per room based on single occupancy, and $1,172 per room based on double occupancy. Additional nights are available at Villa Olga for $125 per night plus 15% taxes.
Bolongo Bay Beach Resort is offering the painting package for the May 9-11 workshop only. Rates for the three-night package at Bolongo are $980 per room based on single occupancy and $1,350 per room based on double occupancy. Extra nights are available for $175 per night plus 15% tax and $2 per day energy surcharge. Vacationers seeking to participate in the May 4-6 workshop are encouraged to stay at Villa Olga.
