Frequently Asked Art Retreat Questions (FAQ)
Classes are priced separately...the price is on the top of the class description. You are responsible for your own accommodations and meals, so the price can vary according to your desires. We encourage attendees to stay at the host hotel. You become much more involved in the comraderie and excitment when you stay onsite!!
No, you may sign up for just one, or as many as you wish.
All of our registration is online and by check. Prior to the event, we will announce the date and time that registration will open. Attendees will be able to register online and pay by check. Class spaces will fill on a first-come, first-serve basis. If it's in your cart when you check out, you got in the class--no more waiting to see if you got your first choices, and no more choosing alternates! Please check the specific event for more details on the registration process and to check the policies for that event.
All attendees must check in at the Art & Soul Registration desk located at the host property of the event. At that time, you will receive your name badge for class entry, and all pertinent information regarding the event, including classroom locations.

They are not required, but are a fun way to share your art with others. Trading can take place anywhere and everywhere at the retreat...just ask if anyone is trading, and you are sure to get a response!
