I signed up but I can't make it to the workshop anymore, what do I do?

We know life happens and plans change! Please email engagement@hilltoparts.org so we can take you off of our list and open that spot up for someone else. NOTE: If you need to cancel we're able to refund the $10 workshop fee but not the small fee that Eventbrite adds for processing.

How old do you have to be to attend?

Attendees should be high school age or older.

What is the Hilltop Arts Collective?

The Hilltop Arts Collective is a nonprofit arts organization focused on bringing art to, and promoting the arts within the Hilltop. We do so with the belief that the arts can improve the quality of life for residents, and that everyone is entitled to beauty and art regardless of income or address.

Wow the Hilltop Arts Collective sounds really cool! How do I get involved?

We are really cool and our members are even cooler! If you want to learn more about who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved, fill out the contact form on our website, or DM us on Facebook or Instagram! https://www.hilltoparts.org/contact

What does the workshop fee go toward?

While some workshops are able to be offered for free, when more supplies must be purchased we need to implement a fee to offset some of the cost. We never make a profit on our workshops and fees are just to help with some of the expense of offering these opportunities.

What if I can't afford the workshop fee?

The Hilltop Arts Collective always strives to provide accessible artistic experiences to our community. If you'd like to attend this workshop but need financial assistance please email engagement@hilltoparts.org and we'll be happy to help!
