The Cortona Experience
The Cortona Experience is about so much more than just art, or just travel...One day, you suddenly realize that your world has fallen away and you are moving along with the daily rhythms of Cortona. You get a true sense of what life inside this walled city has been like for centuries.
Erin Bailey, Cortona Experience participant 2005 and 2006
Be part of an extraordinary travel-learning experience hosted by the University of Georgia’s Cortona Studies Abroad Program!
The Cortona Experience o!ers expert instruction, studio demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and educational activities
to artists of all levels—from absolute beginners to advanced profession-als. Come to Cortona for a cultural immersion that blends the sights,
sounds, smells, and tastes of Tuscany with stimulating intellectual engagement. Take this unique opportunity to practice your art with the
helpful guidance of teachers and the collegiality of fellow Cortona Experience travelers. Give yourself, or a friend, an unforgettable,
life-changing experience. Come away with a richer appreciation and understanding of what our studies abroad students have experienced
each year since the inception of the Cortona Program in 1970.
Discover the artist within, explore new techniques of creative expression, and hone your talent
while in the heart of Tuscany.
