Manifesto

You deserve a productive vacation

Indian artists have been creating alone for too long. In their rooms. In their cities. On their own time, their own money, their own energy , with nowhere to go that was truly built for them. We looked for a productive vacation. A place to make real work and actually rest. To be around people who get it. To wake up somewhere beautiful and spend the day doing the only thing that matters. It didn't exist. So we built it.

Founder of auricsummer

I was tired of choosing between a holiday and being productive. I wanted both at the same time, in one place, with the right people around. Nobody was offering that. So, I decided to create it myself. Auric Summer is everything I wished existed. I hope it becomes everything you need.

About

Made With Intention

Made With Intention

Auric Summer is not a course. It is not a camp. It is not a corporate retreat with a mood board. It is 15 days in South Goa where 18 artists at a time get to do the one thing they never have enough time, space to do , make their best work, completely unbothered.

We take care of everything. The flights that get you here. The luxury property you wake up in. The meals on the table every morning, afternoon and evening. The canvases, the paints, the materials. The workshops with collaborators who are as serious about making as you are. You take care of one thing. Showing up.

Two batches. Eighteen artists each. Selected entirely by portfolio, by the collaborators, facilitators and the founder because the work is what matters here.

Auric Summer is for the artist who has been meaning to take a few days off. The illustrator who does their best work at 2am because that is the only quiet time they get. The graphic designer who has not made something purely for themselves in years. The printmaker who needs a press and a community and a beach view all at once.

This is that place.

Everything covered. You just show up.

All Meals

Three meals a day, every day. Long dinners, good music, and the kind of table conversations that change how you think.
