The Baby Tattooville limited-edition art retreat is a novel concept created by Bob Self of Baby Tattoo Books. In a nutshell the idea is to bring together a small number of collectors (up to 50) with a group of the most in-demand artists for a relaxed private weekend featuring various art sessions and socializing. From our first-hand view, last year’s inaugural show went down quite well with a good time had by the attendees and the participating artists.
The current lineup for the 2nd annual Baby Tattoovile limited edition art retreat features seven popular artists – Glenn Barr, Dave Cooper, Bob Dob, Joe Ledbetter, Shag, Amy Sol and Michael Whelan. Up to 50 attendees (only 20 spots remain) will spend the weekend of October 3rd – 5th with the featured artists @ the incomparable Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in Riverside, CA. The $2000 registration fee includes a two-night stay at the hotel, numerous artist sessions and a large number of included exclusive collector items. Last year’s attendees walked away with numerous prints including a massive ‘Art Jam’ canvas giclee, a James Jean original sketch, a couple of exclusive toys, a generous stack of books and much more. If you eat and breathe art, it’s a rare opportunity that’s well worth the cost.
