Welcome to Art Camp

The Isolation Journals invites artists of all levels to join a month‑long, at‑home residency in August 2026. Participants subscribe for $6, gaining access to weekly painting and essay prompts from artist Ana Martinez Stapleton, a shared visual journal entry each week, and a community chat to discuss progress and insights. The residency culminates on August 30 with a virtual Journaling Club featuring Ana, where participants reflect on their creative journey. The program is open to anyone, with no age, nationality, or skill‑level restrictions, and offers no physical housing or travel support. It is delivered entirely online, making it accessible worldwide. The residency emphasizes process over finished work, encouraging experimentation across media such as watercolor, collage, charcoal, and pastels. The subscription model allows participants to join at any time during August, with the final event scheduled for the last Saturday of the month. This initiative provides a structured yet flexible framework for artists to cultivate a consistent practice amid life’s challenges.
