For over 30 years the Grünewald Guild has served as a creative and innovative example to the world of the transformative power of art and the sacred within the context of community. We are an ecumenical Christian community that embraces people of all journeys and traditions, serving as a sanctuary for their exploration of art, faith and the mystery of creation.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced artist, Summer Program classes at the Grünewald Guild provide you with the opportunity to carry out your exploration of art and faith in a supportive, non-competitive environment. The Guild community of instructors, guests and staff is nationally and internationally diverse, with classes averaging six to ten students.

Monday is a good time to go for a hike, visit Leavenworth, Lake Wenatchee State Park or other places in the local area. There is no meal service until dinner on Monday.
