Artcourses: add an entry

eligibility 'starter' web page cost how to apply new entry holding area getting help

Who should add entries to the directory?

Any teaching artist, college or arts centre in Europe (sorry, not Asia, Africa, Australia, America) wishing to promote their practical art classes, workshops or painting holidays.

What kinds of courses are excluded?

For the present, the directory will not accept theory courses such as art history, or full-time courses such as degree courses.

If a college hosts courses by several different teachers, who should submit the entry?

Normally the college, especially if bookings and enquiries should go through the college. If you are a teacher, you may want to bring this website to the notice of the course administrators.

What if I teach at several different venues?

Since the directory entries are venue-based, you will need to submit one entry for each venue (unless two venues are geographically so close that you can treat them as one).

What if I already have a website? And what if I don't?

We can create an entry for you whether or not you have your own website.
If you already have your own website, a link from your directory entry will lead visitors directly to your website.
If you don't have your own website - maybe you've been put off by the cost, or the time involved? - you could try our inexpensive 'starter' web page

When should I apply?

At any time. We normally create a draft entry for you within a few days. When you have checked this and given us the go-ahead, we will transfer it to the main directory.

How do I apply?

First, have a look at the existing entries so you can visualise how yours will appear.
For definitions of the different categories, see the key to icons. Contact Finedyne Artcourses if you have any further queries.
Then choose either the paper form or the online form:

PAPER FORM

Print off an application form, consisting of:
- one 'contact details' page, plus
- one 'venue details' page for each venue at which you offer courses.
Complete the form and post it to us.

ONLINE FORM

First, complete and submit a
'contact + venue details' on-line form.
You can then finish. Or you can fill an
'additional venue' on-line form
You may use this additional form if you offer courses at more than one venue.

We will create your entries in a holding area for you to check before they are transferred to the main directory.

What should I write in the 30-word 'free text' area?

Be brief! There is an absolute limit of 252 characters - i.e. 252 including all spaces and punctuation marks. Avoid duplicating information which will appear elsewhere in the entry: contact details, length of course, level, minimum age.

Do consider mentioning: teaching style, techniques involved, materials required/provided, course fees, meals/accommodation, setting and sites of local interest, disability access, (residential courses:) suitability for non-participating partners, etc.
