Point101 is a well known online gallery and showcase for exciting, innovative contemporary artists and photographers. The company also provides bespoke canvas prints.
To complement their thriving gallery and print business, Point101 are proud to announce the launch of their photography holiday in the remote mountainous region of Abruzzo, Italy.
To celebrate the launch of the holiday, This is Local London is offering the chance to win a large canvas print, developed from your favourite holiday photograph, making a personal artwork for your home.
Often called forgotten Tuscany - Abruzzo is a beautiful, relatively unexplored region of Italy containing three national parks, beautiful hilltop fortress towns, snowy mountain peaks and glistening white sand beaches.
The photography holidays include expert tuition, within the reach of every level of experience - from complete beginner to established snapper. Alongside the tuition, this experience allows people to create individual and personal artworks to display in their homes. Included in the price of the holiday is the chance to turn three favourite photos from the visit into large canvas art prints.
Breaking away from traditional activity or artistic holidays, the experience includes an exciting contemporary teaching style where the guests are encouraged to experiment with their photography becoming more hands on with the environment. The lessons cover different ways of working that allow people to soak up the atmosphere of the location and engage with the landscape.
Guests can also indulge themselves in fabulous local produce, including a visit to the award winning wine producers Masciarelli for a wine tasting and tour around the estate. This holiday is the first of its kind in Abruzzo and offers a marvellous and unspoilt experience of traditional Italian culture.
Limited places are available on the photography breaks in October (26-30th) and December (14-19th). Five-day breaks are available from £775 including return flights, tuition, full board and all equipment.
