General Information

• Registration requests for workshops can be submitted online, by phone, or in-person. Registrations are accepted on a strictly first-come, first-registered basis.

• The workshop schedule is subject to change and cancellations and/or new workshops may be programmed. Please be sure to review our website for the most up-to-date workshop schedule.

• Please read the workshop description carefully before enrolling to ensure that the workshop is appropriate for your skill level.

Community Policies

• Peninsula School of Art is committed to providing a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment during its programs for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, color, age, religion, national origin, economic status, or political affiliation.

• Peninsula School of Art reserves the right to refuse registrations from participants who have a history of unacceptable behavior, or to dismiss any student without refund who engages in conduct deemed to be harassment toward others or disruptive of the learning environment.

• We encourage everyone to report instances of harassment to Elysia Michaelsen, Artistic Director.

Adult Registrations

• Upon receipt of full payment, a receipt will be emailed to you immediately. A reminder email notice contains important information regarding your workshop, including where to find your supply list. Please add info@PeninsulaSchoolofArt.org to your safe sender list.

• Material fees not included in workshop tuition are to be paid directly to the instructor before the end of class. You may pay by check or exact change. When known, these fees will be indicated on your supply list. For other classes, the materials fee will be based on the amount of materials used during the workshop.

• When applicable, model fees are included in workshop tuition.

• Registrations are not transferable to another individual.

Children and Teen Registrations

• Students must have reached the minimum age required at the time their workshop begins.

• Upon receipt of full payment, a receipt will be emailed to you within two days. The confirmation letter contains important information regarding their workshop, including a link to the required Health and Photo Release Form. Please add info@PeninsulaSchoolofArt.org to your safe sender list.

• If your child has any accessibility needs, learning differences, allergies, or other special concerns, please include details on the Health and Photo Release Form.

Cancellation Policy

• Workshops and classes must reach their minimum number of students 35 days before the start date. From there, classes that have met minimum enrollment will remain open until they reach their maximum number or three days prior to the start date.

• Upon registration full tuition must be paid, 25% of which is non-refundable. Students who cancel 35 days or more in advance of the start date will receive a refund of 75% of their tuition. 34 days or less, no refunds are given, but students do have the option to transfer their tuition to another class of the same length of time for a fee of: $150 for adult multi-day classes or $50 for adult one-day or youth classes.

• For your protection, and should an unforeseen personal emergency arise, we HIGHLY recommend the purchase of trip insurance and that you review and confirm the cancelation policy of your lodging accommodations. Some credit cards, auto clubs, travel services, or online companies offer travel insurance for non-refundable expenses.

• If you drop out of a class once it has started, there are no refunds for any amount.

Supplies

• For adult workshops, all supply lists are available on our website. Navigate to your workshop’s page under the Workshops and Classes tab, and scroll down to the red SUPPLY LIST link. Instructors may request that you bring more supplies than you will actually use during the course of the workshop. The acquisition and cost of these items are your responsibility.

• All materials for children and teen workshops will be provided unless otherwise noted.

Beverages and Meals   

• During Summer and Fall programs, adult students have the option to add our Workshop Meal Plan to any 1-5-day workshop. The cost is $20/day. The Meal Plan includes one grab-n-go sandwich, two snacks, and a drink per day, for the duration of your workshop. We cannot accommodate dietary restrictions. The Meal Plan must be purchased at time of registration.

• For students who choose to pack a lunch, all food, beverage, and utensils can be kept in a personal cooler at your workstation, or stored in the fridge in the student kitchen. The student kitchen is stocked with a microwave, paper plates, cups, and utensils.

• Children and teens enrolled in a half-day workshop should bring a snack and beverage.

• Children enrolled in full-day workshops should bring a packed lunch and beverage or water bottle. An extra snack is great, too. There is a water bottle filler on campus.

• Peninsula School of Art takes food allergies very seriously but is not equipped to handle allergic reactions. If you have specific dietary needs or allergies, bringing your own lunch is your best option. We are not able to accommodate particular food preferences, dietary restrictions, or food allergies.

Transfers

• Students may transfer from one workshop to another, space permitting, 35 days or more prior to the start date of the workshop for which they are currently registered for a fee of $25. 34 days or less before the class start date, students many transfer their tuition to another class of the same length of time for a fee of: $150 for adult multi-day classes or $50 for adult one-day or youth classes.

• Students cannot transfer their registration to a different name.

Waiting Lists

• When a workshop fills, we start a waiting list. There is no charge to be on a waiting list. If space becomes available, we will contact the first person on the list.

If PenArt Cancels a Workshop

• Occasionally, PenArt must cancel a workshop due to low enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances. If we do, we will notify you via email as soon as possible. You may register for another workshop (based on availability) or receive a full refund of tuition paid. Peninsula School of Art is not responsible for losses incurred due to housing, personal expenses, travel, or other arrangements.

If There is a Change in Workshop Instructor

• Occasionally, a listed instructor is unable to participate because of illness, unforeseen personal matter, or change in their professional schedule. If we must replace an instructor, we will do so with someone of equal or similar credentials. When time permits, we will inform all registered students.

Accessibility

• Peninsula School of Art is committed to addressing barriers to participation that can restrict access to the visual arts for children, teens, and adults. Our gallery and studios are accessible; however, some studio equipment may require accommodation. We will make every effort to provide access to people with disabilities without posing undue hardship for the organization. For inquiries about accessibility needs, please contact Elysia Michaelsen at workshop@PeninsulaSchoolofArt.org or 920.868.3455.

Pets and Service Animals

• Please leave your pets at home. Pets, other than licensed therapy or service dogs such as Seeing Eye Dogs, are not allowed to be left in cars in the parking lot, or in PenArt buildings.

• Peninsula School of Art complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Any student who plans to bring a service animal must notify the staff at the time of registration, at which time we may ask if the service animal is required because of a disability or what work or task the service animal has been trained to perform. A service animal must be under the handler’s control at all times, and the handler is expected to clean up after the service animal.
