The excitement around this year’s Sketcher Fest is building!
You’ve already seen the stellar roster of Guest Artists coming to Edmonds July 11-12.
Now, the full program is available, including details about Workshops, Artist Talks, our traditional Sketchbook Fair at the Edmonds Waterfront Center and other events.
If you are planning to attend, here are important dates regarding ticket sales:
• From now until March 14 (noon PDT): Request window for workshops is open
• March 21 (noon PDT): General sale opens
Workshops Request Window
Open now until March 14 (noon PDT)
Because workshops are small (limited to 15 participants) and some fill very quickly, we want to avoid the stress of a race-to-click workshop registration. Instead, we are opening a request window between now and March 14.
Here’s how it works:
- During this request window, please submit your top workshop choice (and a backup) for the morning block and the afternoon block using the Workshop Request Form.
- If a workshop has more than 15 requests, names will be selected at random after the window closes.If a workshop does not fill, everyone who requested it will be enrolled.
- After assignments are made, you’ll receive an email confirmation and payment link. Payment must be received within 48 hours of when the email confirmation is sent or your spot will be released. It’s very important to watch your email carefully starting March 15. The price per workshop is $175.
- After the request window closes and assignments have been made, workshops with open spots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Our goal is to give everyone an equal opportunity to attend a workshop while keeping the process calm and thoughtful.
