Artist Atelier - A Creative Dreamspace

This is one of a kind "creative haven" is located in the idyllic Pocono Mountains. This two bedroom artist studio is a perfect space for anyone looking to escape the city. Perfect to rest and recharge but also to have the space and time to work on your art, journal or write your book, settle your mind, slow down and take in nature. Designed to showcase my body of work, it displaying several series of art within its wall and serves as my current studio for new work. The Alappat Atelier was created by New York City artist Sebastian Alappat. Needing a place to make art, he founded this studio as an ideal place to escape the confines of painting in a small Manhattan apartment. The Atelier now serves as his studio and as a shared workspace for all creative types seeking a quiet place to stay while honing their craft and working on their passion projects while getting away from the hustle and grind of the city. The Artist Atelier is nestled in the idyllic Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania. You'll have access to a 1600 square foot working studio & gallery with several creative stations and separate utility sink. Filled with art, you’ll find a drafting table, a drawing nook, a writing corner and several shared easels. The other end of the Atelier boasts a lofted bedroom up a flight of stairs with dresser and desk, a colorful ground floor apartment with a Joybird sofa bed, a well stocked library as well as a mahogany writers desk with a view to the grounds. While you’re creating, take care of yourself in the gorgeous, newly renovated full bathroom and dine in the calming retro kitchenette and brand new bbq grill along with a fully stocked kitchen with a bran new Classic retro stove. During the winter months, there is a gas powered fireplace in the main studio and digital thermostats as several well wall-mounted to rooms. Put on a vinyl record and sit around main studio making art to the crackle of the fireplace. You may set temperatures to desired one but please return when done. Please shut off the fireplace when not using the main room. My studio is designed to give guests the full experience of working and living in my studio. To get you inspired, I have also left out art-making materials for you to help unleash or awaken your inner creative side. Join the many that have left artwork in our Atelier Guest Gallery Book! Kunkletown is an idyllic sleepy town which allows for any creative minded person to just focus on making their art, whatever that may be.
