About.

Roofless Painters is a contemporary nomadic painting atelier and gallery, offering classes, retreats and private events, anywhere in the world.  Instead of settling in an established art studio setting, we chose to be nomadic so we could expand our visual horizons, connect with artists, and bring our educational art atelier to new communities. Classes are held in a variety of locations local to Los Angeles, and we pack our painty luggage and make several international trips a year to enable us to offer stimulating, social and artistically adventurous experiences.

​Our classes, retreats and private events are designed for everyone, they include all art materials (and sometimes meals and accommodation), tuition, guidance and mentoring - and are loads of fun.
