FAQs
Are there ID requirements to attend?
All participants must hold a valid passport current up to six months upon return. France and other Schengen countries may require a visa for particular nationalities depending on what passport you hold. U.S. passport holders can enter France and stay in country for 90 days. The duration of the program is five days, and we will ask that you come a day in advance to get acclimated, making it six days total.
What if my spouse, partner, friend, colleague who did not attend SCAD wants to join?
We can add this person to the waitlist and reach out if there is availability, however we are offering invitations to SCAD alumni first. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate minors. All participants must be over the age of 21.
Who is this program designed for?
Creatives who would like to refresh and reconnect with SCAD and like-minded alumni, people who are looking to reinvigorate their studio work, creative passions or brand. Participants should be in good physical shape as there will be walking and some light hiking on steep terrain. Participants should be able to comfortable carry their own luggage for short distances.
What are we going to be doing?
 We have developed an itinerary that includes workshop and studio time in Lacoste. Additionally, we will enjoy meals at local restaurants and there is an optional excursion to Isle sur la Sorgue market.
