FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will there be any virtual component to the Conference this year?
Sorry, no, we will not be recording the sessions this year. All talks and demos are going to take place in person over the weekend!
Is there an orientation for those of us who are new to the Conference?
Yes, on Friday morning after the first session! Cherie will chat about all things conference, and answer all of your questions!
All are welcome to attend as the venue is new. We’re excited to share our campus with you!
What if I want to register for just one day of the conference?
We very much prefer for you to sign up for the full event.
Are post-conference workshops included in the conference price?
No, there is a separate fee. A lot of really great options this year! Workshops take place in Truro.
Do I need to bring materials for the conference demos or workshops?
Conference demos are strictly demonstration, so you do not need to bring materials. The Pre- and Post-Conference workshops are different. Teachers will provide a list of supplies that you may bring with you, and also what is provided. Castle Hill or the specific teachers will contact you if you're signed up. Also, it's important to note that our wonderful vendors donate a large amount of paint, medium and materials for you to try.
Could I register only for the Pre or Post-Conference sessions?
Sure. But you'll miss a great conference!
What if I decide at a later date that I wish to register for a Post-Conference workshop? Possible?
Sure. If there is space, you can register even during the conference if you wish. Please know, however, that the workshops can fill up quickly.
What are the hours of the post-conference workshops, and where do they take place?
The workshops run from 10:00am to 4:00pm with an hour for lunch as determined by the instructor. Informal events are planned for some of the evenings. We have two campuses in Truro - the specific location will be listed on your materials list and also emailed out as a reminder a few days prior to class.
I see you have multiple-day workshops. Is there any chance I could take just one day of, say, the three-day workshop so that I may take different workshops on other days?
Nice try, but the point of multiple-day workshops is to have the opportunity to explore one area in depth with one teacher and the same group of equally committed participants.
Where can I find a map of Provincetown?
Click here for a fully printable map of Provincetown.
Where can I find information about the Provincetown galleries?
Encaustic-specific info will be posted and shared when it has been finalized. Gallery Guides should also be available at the Hotel.
What's the weather like in Truro / Provincetown?
Normally, the temperature range in early June is is in the high 60s to low 70s during the day, and in the low 60s to high 50s at night. But that's an average. It can get hotter or colder. And the weather can turn on a dime. As the town meteorologist, Cherie guarantees it will be perfect!
So how should I dress?
Bring a light jacket or a sweater, a turtleneck, a t-shirt and a tank top; pants and shorts; sunglasses and an umbrella. In other words, dress for New England weather, which encompasses a meteorological range. You can safely leave the boots at home, however: The only thing you don't have to plan for this time of year is snow.
Is there a dress code?
Nope. Wear what you like, whether it's a sundress, jeans and a t-shirt, a suit, or cutoffs. Your choice.
Does the Conference provide food?
If you are staying at the Hotel, breakfast is provided. There will be lunch provided at the Conference.
Can I purchase paint or paper or panels from the vendors?
Yes, the vendors will sell lots of stuff from the amazing Vendor room!
What is your Refund Policy?
We offer refunds before 30 days of the workshop or conference, after 30 days no refund.
