Star Island, Isles of Shoals, NH and Maine

September 7-11, 2026 Monday through Friday

Labot Day Week.


(Content shared by Star Island):

“Artists travel throughout North America and Europe to learn from Doris Rice. Closer to home lies yet another adventure! Step back in time, and still enjoy what seems like a distant land; remote, peaceful, historic. Paint spectacular views on Star Island, found off the NH coast, among the “waters of N’Dakinna”, the traditional homeland of Indigenous peoples, past and present.

“Daily studio and “en plein air” time is followed by a comfortable social hour and helpful critiques. Painters have enjoyed Doris’s friendly, encouraging, relaxed style of teaching and her shared love of nature.

“Evening brings a variety of optional opportunities. One features guest speaker, Ann Beattie, Isles of Shoals Scholar, telling of Celia Thaxter and her encouragement of the arts on Appledore Island. Other optional evening activities can include a candlelit Chapel service, a tour, a talk, or entertainment for you to experience as well. Join us for the adventure!”
