HarpArts Location
HarpArts Adult Study Retreat is offered at The Lodge at Smithgall Woods
located in the foothills of the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, a short distance north of Atlanta. |
Removed from the everyday distractions of our busy adult lives and
nestled among the verdant mountain forests and surrounded by pristine
mountain streams, you can focus on learning;
on developing music theory skills; on individual musical
and technical accomplishments; on sharing and performing with others;
and on reflecting on the role music plays in our daily lives.
Come join us at the HarpArts retreat at Smithgall Woods,
where nature inspires imagination and time nurtures inspiration. |

The cottages are nestled in the glen of an

stream, surrounded by towering hemlocks,
colorful wild flowers, and lush thickets of
rhododendron. A central grassy area provides
