Introducing The Music Gallery’s 2025 Workshop Series

December 10, 2024

News

We’re excited to announce our 2025 Workshop Series, designed to provide artists (and those who don’t want to call themselves artists!) opportunities to learn new skills, network, and deepen their practice. These workshops, created based on community feedback, are dedicated to helping you explore and connect with like-minded people in a kind learning environment. 

Why the shift in pricing?

We know! Last year was free… but let us explain. Last season, our workshops experienced a 50% no-show rate, leaving eager participants unable to join. To support higher fees for our workshop leaders and ensure people are dedicated to this process, we’ve changed the price. 

This year, tickets will be offered on a sliding scale ($5-$10). These prices are well below market rate for workshops of their kind, and remember, we always enact a NOTAFLOF (No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds) at all of our events. 

Want Free Access?

Get the Workshop Membership for only $30! If you attend 2 workshops and an event this season, you’ve paid off your membership.
