Frequently asked questions

1) What is the obligation of the workshop organizer if the workshop is not sufficiently attended?

In free workshops, if there are not enough participants or no participants, the workshop can be canceled or rescheduled by the organizer.

In paid workshops, on the other hand, since a fee is charged to the participant, even if there is only one participant, the workshop organizer is obliged to carry out the workshop.

For this reason, we recommend artists who want to open a workshop to open free or short-term workshops with a very low fee in order to see the demand.

2) Can I organize a one-off workshop?

Depending on the subject of your workshop, you can do this, or you can make workshops that continue on a weekly or monthly basis, but this should be clearly stated when opening the workshop.

3) Where can I conduct workshops?

You will be the one to decide this. If you are doing it face-to-face, be sure to include the address of the venue and directions.

If it will be online, whichever program you will use, such as Google Meet, Zoom, etc., be sure to inform the participants for their preliminary preparations. If needed, you can contact Yücel Cultural Foundation to use their venues.

4) What should a workshop owner do to get paid?

All payments are made against legal documents. If the workshop owner has the opportunity to issue an invoice, the payment is made against the invoice (In this case, VAT is paid by the workshop owner). If the workshop owner does not have the opportunity to issue an invoice, 20% withholding tax is deducted and paid to him/her against the expense receipt of Yücel Cultural Foundation. The deduction withholding tax is deposited to the state as tax in the name of the workshop owner with withholding tax declaration.

5) When does the workshop owner get paid?

Although participation in the workshop is made by credit card and credited to the Foundation's account one month later, the payment is made to the workshop organizer one week after the workshop is completed.

6) Could the one who opens the workshop earn an income from it?

Yes, in paid workshops, a 4% bank charge is deducted from the donations made by the workshop participants and the remaining amount is paid to the workshop organizer in exchange for legal documents.

7) How to participate in the workshop?

For free workshops, you can directly join the participant list by clicking the Join workshops button on www.sanateserleri.org. In paid workshops, after clicking the Join workshops button, the participant must donate the amount determined by the workshop organizer to Yücel Cultural Foundation by credit card.

8) Is there a limitation on the number of workshop participants?

Although there is no limit, the most distinctive feature that differentiates workshops from conferences and panels is that they aim to work together and produce work. For this reason, the workshop organizer is expected to accept a reasonable number of participants.

9) Can the workshops be organized for a fee?

Workshops can be offered for a fee or free of charge. The workshop organizer decides how to do this and how much the participants will pay to participate in the workshop.
