Atelier Libre / Open StuDio

Join us for drop-in sessions in our Aix-en-Provence studio

We are delighted to open our studio doors to our local community. Come paint with the Leo Marchutz School in the serene studio space at the beautiful Hôtel d'Albertas. Places are limited. Beginners and long-time painters alike are welcome! You may bring your own preferred materials or you can borrow materials from us (see below for more details). Need painting guidance? Our school's Artistic Director, a painter and professor for over forty years, will be present to offer support no matter your experience level, and is joined by other wonderful, long-time teachers at the school. Come discover this opportunity to paint and spend time in one of the most beautiful spots in Aix-en-Provence. It is a delight for people of all ages and experience levels!
