The Art of Exchange: Crafting Community Ace Hotel & Swim Club: April 23 & 24, 2010

If you are on the left coast, this is completely worth checking out and sounds like an amazing family retreat! The Art of Exchange is a two day, two night artist retreat for kids and families with interactive art workshops, activities, projects, Saturday movie night with popcorn, poolside bbq, fireside s’mores and Sunday morning brunch. Artist Karen Kimmel will guide art projects like potato prints, miniature gardens, macramé, dioramas, and knitting, with a focus on the reuse and repurposing of natural materials. You can also just do your own thing, hang out by the pool, and explore. Make your resi now!! {images via green wedding shoes and karen kimmel}
