Since 1966, the Creative Arts Community has provided unique residential workshops at Menucha. Imagine... summer in the Pacific Northwest... a whole week to focus on art, make new friends, continue friendships, take your art to a new level and rejuvenate your spirit ... that's what happens during Creative Arts Community at Menucha.

Menucha is thankful for the diligent work of the Creative Arts Community Board that works in partnership with us to offer this program which welcomes artists of all skill levels.
