The Festival will manage workshop registrations/ticketing on your behalf, via the Festival website. To ensure that the Festival is covering its costs, we will retain 15% of workshop ticket sales (5% for nonprofits). This admin fee will only apply to workshops that charge participants for registration (free workshops will remain free). This admin fee will help cover credit card processing fees, marketing costs and workshop-related overhead costs, enabling the Festival to better promote and support our workshop hosts! Please take this admin fee into consideration when setting pricing. A check for the full sales amount of your workshop (less the applicable admin fee) will be distributed on the day of the Festival, after the conclusion of your workshop.
