This is so much more than an art tour.
It’s a focused art experience with a small group of collectors, enthusiasts, and artists.
Starting with Los Angeles.
The new LACMA galleries and the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Curated gallery visits through the best contemporary art spaces in the city. Intimate studio visits with Los Angeles based artists.
LA Art Retreat, October 19–23 2026
Intimate and personal.
The experience is designed to change how you see art and the world you bring it into.
Everything is included.
Two major art institutions newly opened. Gallery visits through the best contemporary art spaces. Intimate studio visits with local artists. And surprise moments woven throughout that you will still be talking about years from now.
If you are building a collection,
deepening your relationship with contemporary art, or simply ready for an experience that feels genuinely different from anything you have done before, this is for you.
LACMA: The new David Geffen Galleries are designed to encourage wandering, let your curiosity be your compass.
The installation of art is inspired by four major bodies of water. The Pacific, Indian, Atlantic Oceans, and Mediterranean Sea, and the coastlines and inland cultures that are connected by them.
Works of art accrue meaning through exchange, transit, time, and translation. Considering art and history as a dynamic, oceanic flow can prompt deeper understandings of cultural intersections, differences, and continuities.
The artworks you’ll encounter here span time and geography. Their diversity mirrors the vibrancy and variety of Los Angeles itself.
Details
Experience art with a small intimate group of collectors, enthusiasts, and artists. Every detail is handled before you arrive so the only thing you have to do is attend and experience art.
Travel
Round trip flights from San Francisco to the destination city included. Private ground transportation throughout the entire retreat. No logistics, no thinking. You are picked up and dropped off at every door.
Hotel
A boutique design hotel accommodation at the center of downtown LA art and culture. Your room is yours.
Meals
Every meal is considered and included with reservations planned in advance. Breakfast at the hotel, lunches and dinners at restaurants selected for atmosphere, quality, and the kind of conversation they inspire. Dietary needs and preferences accommodated personally in advance.
Personalization
Before each retreat Nate connects personally with every guest to understand what you are curious about, what you are building, and what would make this experience meaningful specifically for you. The itinerary is designed around the group and adjusted for each person in it.
Your Wellbeing
Fitness routines including yoga and meditation will be part of the itenary. This retreat is about being rested, grounded, and fully present as you move through the galleries and artist studios. Your wellbeing is simply part of how we care for each other, so that all you need to do is experience and take in art.
Museum of Narrative Art: The museum is conceived as a sculptural, organic form shaped by light, clouds, and the surrounding tree canopy. Rising from Exposition Park, it feels both grounded and ethereal, embodying the museum’s belief in imagination as a shared public resource.
Lifted above the ground, the museum engages with the street on a human scale, encouraging social interaction while preserving views of Exposition Park.
