Thank you for your interest in MCA's Weekend Workshop at Haystack!

Please review all notes below prior to registering! 

REGISTRATION PROCESS:

Participants must follow the online registration process to be placed in a workshop. Each participant must register themselves, using one email address per registrant. 

Registration opens beginning January 9, 2025, at 12:00 pm. Students select first and second choices for workshops and accommodations, with the understanding that workshops and accommodations are on a first-come-first-served basis, and waitlists are created as options fill. 

A deposit of $100 is collected at registration and is only refundable after Thursday, April 10, 2025, in the event there is not a place in either first or second choices (workshop or accommodations). MCA will keep all registrants informed of movement on waitlists and openings. 

Your placement in a workshop or on a waitlist will be chosen based on your registration time stamp. MCA will contact you after registration to let you know which one of your workshops, accommodation choices OR waitlist you are registered on. Please allow three days for MCA to confirm your placement. 

Membership Status: Please note, that after registration you will be billed based on your MCA membership status. To expedite the process, please update your MCA membership if you have not already, otherwise you will be billed at the cost of a non MCA member.
 

CONFIRMATION

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the high volume of applicants, it may take several hours to receive a registration confirmation. If you make it to a confirmation screen, you have registered.  

Your placement in a workshop and housing will be based on your registration time stamp. MCA staff will reach out to you within three days to confirm your placement. 

IMPORTANT: PAYMENT AND DEADLINE

Your invoice will have a deadline, if you miss the deadline without paying or contacting to us to set up an alternate payment plan we will offer your space to someone on the waitlist. 

Your payment balance will be based on your accommodation assignment, current 2025 MCA membership status and, if applicable, studio material fees. To expedite this process please renew your membership after you fill out your registration form if you have not done so already.
