Everything About Your Workshop
Our online catalog contains a complete listing of workshops.
You can sign up for a workshop once we’ve opened registration, which will happen in late January 2026. Begin by visiting our online summer workshop catalog and choosing which workshop you want to take. You can register for that workshop directly from the online catalog. All registrations must be completed online.
You will receive a confirmation email once you complete your registration. If you do not find your confirmation email in your inbox, please check your spam folder. If you do not receive a confirmation email from us, please contact Alexis Wright, Education Programs Manager, at awright@fawc.org, to confirm that you have successfully registered.
You may register for a workshop up until the day before it begins, provided there is space available. Please note: classes tend to fill up quickly, so we strongly recommend that you register as soon as possible!
Yes. If the workshop you are interested in is full, you can add your name to a waitlist for that workshop. Waitlists are limited to 25 people. If a space opens up in a workshop, we will give first opportunity to enroll in the workshop to those on the waitlist, in order of when they were added to the list. If a space opens up less than a month before the workshop begins, we will reach out to everyone on the waitlist, and give first opportunity to whomever responds first.

Everything Else About Your Workshop
All information about individual workshops, including dates, start and end times, submission requirements, materials lists, reading lists, what you need to bring to the workshop, etc, is provided in the course description in the online catalog.
The maximum number of people in each workshop is eight for printshop and photography workshops, and ten for all other workshops.
Yes. Students have 24-hour access to their workshop spaces.
If you cancel your workshop three or more weeks prior to your class start date, you will receive a full refund, minus a $75 processing fee, for each workshop cancellation. Similarly, if you cancel housing three or more weeks prior to your class start date, you will receive a full refund, minus a $75 processing fee. If you cancel your workshop less than three weeks prior to your class start date, you will forfeit your entire payment. In the unlikely event that your workshop is canceled by FAWC, you will receive a full refund.
Some visual arts workshops require an additional materials and/or model fee. Materials fees range from $25-$75. Model fees are $40. Please see individual workshop descriptions for details of additional fees.
We recommend that you purchase items on your materials list at your favorite local or online arts supply store before you arrive. Provincetown does not have an art supply store. The local hardware stores–Conwell Home Center and True Value—have some art supplies, but we can’t guarantee they’ll have what you need for your workshop.
If your instructor has provided a syllabus ahead of time, we recommend that you buy the books you need at your favorite independent bookstore. There are two local bookshops in Provincetown, but we can’t guarantee they’ll have the books you need.
FAWC does not give out instructor contact information, so if you have a question for your instructor prior to the workshop start date, please contact Alexis Wright, Education Programs Manager, at awright@fawc.org, and she will pass your question along to your instructor. If you would like to reach out to students taking a class the same week you are about sharing transportation or lodging, please send us your request, and we will send an email to all students who can then be in touch with you directly.
We will send you periodic emails about different aspects of the program in the weeks and months leading up to your workshop. We will also send an informational email two weeks prior to your workshop start date to provide check-in details, and additional information about your week with us. Your instructor may be in touch with you as well, but not all instructors reach out to students ahead of time.
