Sandy Made A Mess of Things...


On October 29th, the most powerful storm in about 100 years slammed into the Jersey shore. Because of the damaging winds, tidal surges, and overflowing lakes, Hurricane Sandy has caused quite a mess here in the one square mile that is Ocean Grove (but we're all okay)!


Many of the Inns, Community Centers and buildings suffered damage from the storm and will need major repairs done. . . which may take several months to complete. So, after much consideration, we have decided to cancel the event that was scheduled to take place March 22-24, 2013. 


We would like to reschedule the event — perhaps for Fall of 2013 — and we’ll keep you abreast of any new dates and info!

Creativity By-the-Sea 2013!


We are excited to announce our 2nd Annual Creativity by the Sea, taking place

March 22-24, 2013!!

After having received an overwhelming number of positive responses to our first event, we've been busy planning our second art retreat in Ocean Grove. 

So won't you join us for a weekend of inspiration that promises to provide boundless creativity and an exciting array of workshops! You'll choose from a wide selection of classes in jewelry, fabric, mixed media, collage, painting, drawing, photography, fused glass... and more! The quaint, Victorian, seashore town of Ocean Grove, NJ will provide a relaxing respite for your soul while you awaken your artistic side. With the Atlantic Ocean right at your doorstep, what better place to play and learn.

We'll be offering special rates with our Inns and Bed & Breakfasts, along with all new and exciting workshops! Our Welcome Reception Friday night was a favorite among attendees, and we'll be hosting opening night festivities again for this event! An enticing Vendor Night is also scheduled for Saturday evening where you can shop for original art and supplies. It's a great creative getaway and we hope you can make it!
