How do I find out if the minimum amount of people signed up for the class to be eligible for honorarium? I announce my events on Facebook as well and by word of mouth so many attendees would never know about this sign up process. I didn’t even know about it until right now.
I’m pretty sure my class from last night didn’t have enough signed up to get approval but I did have a good turnout for the class. Does this mean I’m out of luck? Also I changed the start time of my class, it was approved for honorarium but I wanted to add an hour so I had to cancel the approved class and recreate a new one but it was to late to request the honorarium, so does this mean I’m out of luck?
Also I got an email today that a class that teaches acrylic painting isn’t a class it is a workshop.
The definition seems to say a workshop can also be a class where people learn. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/workshop So the excuse in my mind is not a good one because it is confusing to me that teaching people how to paint and have fun is not acceptable for honorarium.
I sent a reply but never heard back. I’ve sent other email to admin but never get a response, did the contact email change?
It can often take me 6 to 7 hours just to set up and help run the acrylic painting class. Part of the honorarium is sent to Creative Arts for the paint supplies and the other goes to the teacher who often sends it to the charity that the event is part of. So for me this class is all work and very hard work at that and I never take any of the money into my own pocket. So it is frustrating to see that I can’t send money back to Creative Arts for helping me run this class with supplies and also pay a teacher, yeas a teacher, to teach and guide people on how to paint a picture. I’m baffled that this kind of acrylic class has always been approved in the past but is it now not acceptable.
I’m a little upset but am wanting to work with the system, I just need to know what the system is wanting.
