Studio Policies (effective 25 September):
Students are encouraged to test for COVID-19 regularly. (The government recommends testing twice weekly.)
It is no longer required to wear a face mask inside the studio building.
The 1,5 meter social distancing rule is still recommended, but not enforced. Student easels/workstations will still be spaced 1,5 meters apart, to the best of our ability.
It is recommended to clean hands at the disinfecting station at the front entrance of the building.
There is no longer a limit on the number of students permitted to be in each classroom at any given time.
Classroom windows will remain open with ventilators running during lesson hours.
Students who test positive for COVID-19, or are experiencing symptoms, must stay home.
All policies are made in accordance with the rules set by the Dutch government. Any policy changes will be promptly updated on this page.
Do students need to show proof of vaccination?
No.
Absences due to COVID-19:
PART-TIME PROGRAMME Absences due to the coronavirus are not normally refunded. Once it is safe for the student to return to class, he or she will be able to make up missed coursework at the studio outside of regularly scheduled class times.
Partial refunds will be given in exceptional circumstances (for instance, if a student is hospitalized due to the coronavirus.)
WORKSHOPS If a student is not able to attend some or all of a workshop due to the coronavirus, he or she will be refunded the total sum of tuition for the days that were not attended. Absences for any reason other than contracting the virus will not be refunded.
Any changes or updates to our coronavirus measures will be published here. Please fill out our contact form or send an email to info@dutchartatelier.com with any questions or concerns.
