Domestic workshop Cancellation Policy – Spaces are reserved on a first deposit-received basis. Once your place has been reserved, there will be a nonrefundable cancellation charge of $100 per workshop. No refund of any tuition paid 44 days prior (or less) to the class or once a workshop begins. We always feel badly when a personal emergency arises after this time period. However, we must strictly adhere to this policy. No-shows will not receive a refund, regardless of the circumstances. If you drop out of a class once it has started, you will not receive a refund. We reserve the right to cancel any workshop, in which case we will make a full refund.
Art in the Mountains is not responsible for art supplies or travel expenses. We recommend travel insurance to recover lost baggage, airline mechanical failures or delays and sickness. If you are in an accident around your home or in a car, please seek a workshop expense compensation from your insurance company.
Please see our COVID-19 Statement on our Homepage - This is our policy during nonCovid times. SICKNESS: If you arrive at the workshop ill, you will be asked to wear a surgical mask to prevent the spread of germs to other clients. You will also be provided with hand sanitizer and spray disinfectant and explicit instructions. If you are running a fever, we will NOT ALLOW you not attend class that day. We will do our best to relay information and we will provide any handouts from the teacher that you miss.
Admission: AITM accepts all persons regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, or religion. AITM reserves the right to dismiss any student, without refund, for unacceptable behavior, and to deny admission to any student with a history of such behavior. Anyone who attends for the purpose of collecting names and addresses of our instructors and students or for advertising another workshop organization may be requested to leave without refund. Absolutely no theft is allowed and will be handled by the civil authorities.
DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST: Students should have knowledge of the instructors reputation, class description, class outline or a basic understanding of what a studio workshop involves and/or what a plein air workshop involves prior to registration. If you have any questions about the way a typical workshop operates, please feel free to ask us, or do some research in magazines, videos, or ask an art group or society.
Complaints: Although we rarely get a complaint, students have an obligation to inform the workshop coordinator immediately when they are unhappy with their workshop. Such comments will be held confidential. AITM Workshop coordinators cannot guarantee satisfaction of a workshop, because opinions vary. However, coordinators will do their best to peacefully mediate a situation between instructor and student.
Refunds: AITM provides high quality workshops with the best instructors. Students are responsible for selecting the workshop of their choice according to the knowledge that they should have gained prior to registration. Art in the Mountains cannot guarantee student satisfaction of a workshop, because opinions vary. Therefore there is no refund once a class begins.
