Free Arts Encounters Protocols Please take a moment to review the PITT ARTS protocols for participating in our Free Arts Encounters programs. Please read carefully so you are informed about how to best take advantage of this great opportunity to experience some of the most sought-after arts events in the city of Pittsburgh totally FREE to you! First, please be aware of our policy regarding cancellations. Every cancellation that you make indicates that you may be an unreliable choice for our programs and your chances of being selected may decrease. Once a student accumulates two cancellations on their record they will no longer have the privilege of participating in PITT ARTS Free Arts Encounters programs. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, but significant efforts and funds go into planning these events, and we hope they are not taken for granted. Secondly, learn about our no show policy! If you don’t show up for one program, you are put on a warning list, and if you don’t show up for two programs, you are no longer eligible to participate in the awesome PITT ARTS programs. We are sure you can appreciate that those who cancel or do not show up invariably cost wasted time in communications and wasted money, often upwards of $70 per student, for tickets, and transportation. If you are ill or have a family emergency and cannot attend a Free Arts Encounter program, please call us at 412-624-4498 by 10 AM the day of the event or the Friday before a weekend event. In other words, we need enough advance notice of your non-participation so we can notify people who may be on a waiting list that they can participate—and please understand that we do not always have a waiting list. So cancellations really hurt! Thanks for your consideration and see you on one of our Arts Encounters programs soon! |
