The world's biggest free online art event is back

I came for a few watercolor sessions and somehow ended up trying gouache, lettering, and urban sketching in the same week. It felt like creative summer camp, but from my kitchen table!

– Maya R.

The best part was how easy it felt to try something new.

– Jenessa L.

I’ve taken a lot of online classes, but this felt different. The live energy, the chat, the instructors, and SO MUCH artwork popping up everywhere... it made me want to keep going.

– Amy N.

I almost didn’t sign up because I thought I wouldn't keep up. The energy from even the first session made me realize nobody was grading me and I just got to make art again!

– Carol Anne G.

Wow. I had no idea how much I needed a week where creativity was allowed to be my main focus!

– Malia G.

Every instructor brought such a different flavor. One session felt calm and meditative the next had me laughing and scribbling like a kid!

– Barbara P.

I signed up because it was free, but I had NO IDEA just how generous this would be. The kind where you can tell everyone involved actually wants you there.

I made more art during this retreat than I have all year!

– Hannah D.

I loved being surrounded by people who were trying new things too. There was no weird pressure to be polished. It felt like everyone was learning out loud together.

– Kendra D.

SCR reminded me that I don’t have to choose one medium forever. I can be curious, messy, inconsistent, and still be an artist.

– Patty R.

I came in thinking I’d watch quietly in the background. By day three, I was sharing my work and cheering on strangers like we’d been art friends for years.

– René R.

This is the rare online event that actually feels alive while it’s happening. You can FEEL people making art together in real time.

– Ursula M.

What surprised me most was the community. I expected workshops but didn’t expect to feel like I was part of something bigger.
