PLEASE READ the following before reviewing workshop and seminar options
Increase the impact of your conference experience by adding workshops, professional seminars, and/or tours to your Conference Registration. The Education Series is designed to address two distinct areas of our members’ development as artists: technical mastery and artistic achievement. We believe artists of any chosen medium will find new opportunities for growth through these sessions.
Some workshops also involve a separate materials fee which is included in the course fee. You must ADD the session to your registration to register for a workshop or seminar.
Please pay close attention to the date(s) and time(s) of your workshop session(s). There are one day workshops, two day workshops, and a three day workshop.
Workshops will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel (opens new window) in downtown Buffalo and selected offsite locations (transportation arrangements included for offsite sessions). All tours leave from the Hyatt.
There is no limit to the number of workshops or tours you can attend as long as the sessions are not scheduled at the same time.
Please make note of the Session Number as you will need it when registering.

Sold-Out workshops and tours will accommodate waitlists through the Eventbrite registration system. As seats become available, attendees will be notified via email with a link to register for the open seat.
