Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is required to attend the workshop.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance when you book your flights. Travel insurance can provide valuable protection against unexpected circumstances that may affect your trip, including illness or injury, trip cancellation or interruption, travel delays, lost luggage, medical expenses, medical evacuation, and other emergencies.

Depending on the policy, travel insurance may also cover certain costs if the workshop is canceled or if unforeseen circumstances prevent you from attending.

Participants are responsible for reviewing their policy carefully and understanding its coverage, exclusions, and limitations. The organizers are not responsible for personal travel expenses or other costs except as expressly stated in this agreement.

If illness, quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, or other government-mandated measures prevent you from attending or traveling, any resulting costs are the responsibility of the participant. We encourage you to confirm that your policy provides appropriate coverage for these circumstances.

For additional peace of mind, we encourage you to consider comprehensive travel insurance to help protect your investment should the unexpected happen.

Participant Expectations

We want everyone to have a wonderful, comfortable, and enjoyable experience in Viterbo. Because this is a small group art workshop and a shared travel experience, we ask participants to come prepared for the practical and social aspects of traveling together.

Participants should be comfortable handling their own luggage and carrying their painting equipment over short distances. The workshop may involve moderate walking on uneven surfaces, including historic cobblestone streets. Some historic buildings, accommodations, and scenic locations may not have elevators. When available, assistance with carrying luggage to rooms can be provided.

Traveling abroad is part of the experience. Life in Italy may be different from what you are accustomed to at home, including accommodations, transportation, dining, schedules, and other amenities. These differences are part of the charm—and sometimes part of the adventure—of experiencing another culture.

Although there will be opportunities to paint, explore, and spend time independently, this is also a group art experience. Meals, excursions, transportation, and art instruction are largely communal. We ask participants to approach the experience with flexibility, courtesy, patience, and a spirit of adventure.

We also ask everyone to be respectful and considerate of fellow participants, instructors, and local hosts. Group travel inevitably involves different personalities, preferences, and occasional unexpected challenges, and a willingness to be flexible helps create a positive experience for everyone.

If a participant’s behavior becomes consistently disruptive or seriously interferes with the safety, well-being, or reasonable enjoyment of the group, the organizers may ask that participant to leave the workshop.

In such circumstances, no refund or reimbursement will be provided, and the organizers will not be responsible for any additional travel or accommodation expenses incurred by the participant.
