Workshop Policies and Procedures

A workshop is a unique opportunity to study with a modern master, a professional artist that is sharing their expertise with devoted students.  All skill levels are welcome to attend, however, it is assumed that students enrolled in a course at this level will have a basic understanding of the rudiments of the medium. There are between 20 and 30 students enrolled in each workshop and one teacher.  There is plenty of room and ample opportunity for individual instruction if you are adequately prepared.

Workshop Payment Policy

A deposit is required to reserve a space in one of our workshops (see below).

A non-refundable deposit of one-half of the enrollment fee is required at the time of registration. Deposits are transferable* (see Transfers and Fees).

Balance

The balance is due one (1) month prior to the workshop start date. Reminder notices will be sent to students at the time payment is due.

Transfers and Fees

Deposits are non-refundable. Deposits may be transferred to another workshop if intent to withdraw is made at least forty-five (45) days prior to the class start date. (A $15 transfer fee will apply.) Deposits may be transferred one time only and MUST be redeemed within a year of original deposit date. There is NO refund, nor transfer, for any reason, if you cancel 45 days or less before the workshop. We understand that last minute emergencies, illnesses, or conflicts come up that can't be controlled, and we are truly sorry, but due to committed expenses on the part of the Quinlan Visual Arts Center, we are not able to make exceptions.       

Other suggestions to insure that your workshop experience is a positive one:

Please provide the following, as necessary: Lights and extension cords, easels, still life objects including but not limited to pottery, fabric drapes, fruit and other objets d'art.  The Quinlan has a limited number of these items.  Arrangements to borrow lights and easels may be made in advance by out of town participants only on a first come first served basis. Supply lists will be sent and are posted for your convenience on this web site, please try to come prepared. Presently, there are not any art supply stores in Gainesville. Limited supplies can be purchased at the local Walmart, Office Depot and Office Max.  Surrounding communities such as Cumming and Buford have vendors of art supplies, please ask Quinlan staff for more details.

At the end of the workshop week, please be sure to dispose of all personal items and perishable still life items, such as fruit and flowers, in the waste receptacles provided in the studio.
