Fees & Procedures

  1. Registration via the Society website is required to reserve a seat in any workshop. Sending a check directly to the Treasurer without registering online will not guarantee a spot in a workshop.
  2. SWS requires either full payment through our secure account online, or the indication that a check is being mailed. Make  checks payable to “SWS” and mail to: Treasurer, Sierra Watercolor Society, P. O. Box 70564, Reno NV 89570. Checks must be received by the Treasurer within 10 days of registration in order to complete your reservation. If payment is not received within the time specified, you will be notified by the Treasurer that your reservation is being cancelled.
  3. Membership status is not required to purchase a seat; however, non-members will pay an additional fee to attend. The non-member may choose to apply this extra fee towards membership in the Society, if they wish.
  4. Up until 30 days prior to a workshop, if you find you must cancel your reservation, you will be refunded your fee*. After that time, the workshop fee will be refunded* only if the Society has a Wait List for the workshop and is subsequently able to sell the seat. If no Wait List exists, you would then have the option of providing your own replacement. If this occurs, a refund of fees paid will be issued*.
  5. All workshops are held at Reno Public Market  Suite 155 from 9 to 4 each day.
  6. Questions? Anita Watson swsworkshops@gmail.com 775-843-8290
