Seminars /workshops are scheduled throughout the year. The seminar chairperson will make announcements at the club meetings and requests for sign-ups. Seminars are arranged so that the members/attendees will equally divide the cost of the artist. Workshops are arranged in the same manner with the exception of limited attendees per artist request, so that personal attention is given to each member participating. Payment must accompany all sign-ups for the workshop or seminar. If you are not able to attend, you must find a substitute. Money will not be refundable by SCVPA. If you would like to host a visiting artist, SCVPA will subsidize you for $50.00. The location of the workshop or seminar will be paid by SCVPA and up to $25.00 per day. However, this will be voted on for each workshop or seminar as it arises. Teacher's names and classes are available upon request.
