Program Costs, Accommodations and Registration Form

Our program is three weeks at a cost of $7,400. Program fee includes tuition for classes, use of studios, transportation to landscape painting areas and double occupancy accommodations. We will stay in a charming, air conditioned and newly renovated hotel located in the town of Menaggio and a short walk to our studios. Our hotel offers personal telephone, lakeside dining, cable television, and air-conditioned rooms. Breakfast and lunches or dinners daily are included. Special dietary requests may not be available. Although all efforts are made to match students with a roommate, we cannot guarantee double occupancy.

Additional supplement for a double room used as a single is $1,500. Lake view supplement is $300 per room (limited number of rooms available). Students are encouraged to attend the full twenty-one day workshop. Partial registration will be accepted only at the permission of the Program Director. In the event the cost of the program is prorated, there will be an administrative surcharge of $350 per unattended week.

Personal items, one meal daily, beverages, outside dinner parties, airfare, ground transportation and optional excursions are not included in the program fee.

A friend or spouse is welcome to join us as a non-studio participant. The non-studio participant fee is $220 per night and includes sharing a room with the studio participant. Non-studio participants may join in all program activities, lectures, dinners and excursions except studio work. While sharing a room, the studio participant pays double occupancy rates.

Students register for the full three-week program with everyone arriving in Menaggio on July 22, 2008. Please register early, as enrollment is limited. The registration form and a $500 deposit are due by March 7, 2008. Deposit will be applied to program cost. In the event of non-acceptance, deposit and all fees will be refunded. Balance in full is due by April 11, 2008. Late registration or late payment will result in $150 additional charge and could result in loss of space.

A $250 per person administration fee will apply for cancellations on or before May 16, 2008. Cancellations thereafter are 50% refunded with no refunds after June 13, 2008. Students are advised to purchase travel cancellation insurance and are advised against the purchase of non-refundable airline tickets. In the event it becomes necessary, the Brentwood Art Center and ArTravel, LLC reserve the right to cancel or modify this program. Should program cancellation occur, all monies would be refunded.

A specific class in this workshop is subject to cancellation should registration be insufficient to cover expenses. In this case, the deposit and fees will be refunded in full or the student may choose to register for another class. Fee adjustments may be made for fluctuations in currency exchange.

Participants may sign up for only one of the offered courses. All students must complete an application and provide all materials requested, including a personal interview (telephone interviews will be accepted for those living outside the Los Angeles region).

Acceptance into the program will be determined by the student’s proficiency and knowledge of art, motivation to learn and demonstrated ability to work and interact in a collegial manner with others.
