If you have a GPI Arts and Crafts Weekend Package:

If bad weather is predicted in advance, the Grove Park Inn will adhere to the 7-day cancellation window for Arts and Crafts Weekend Package overnight guests. Guests are advised to make their plans according to their comfort levels. If travel advisories are not in place, then the cancellation fees do apply to rooms released within the cancellation window.

It’s appreciated if you make the decision on whether or not to travel before your cancellation date.

Weather related delays should be reported to the hotel by the guests by the check in date. If guests are unable to travel due to flight cancellations or travel advisories, the Grove Park Inn can update or cancel the reservation without penalty.

If however a guest no-shows without contacting the hotel to advise of the illness or weather related delay or cancellation, the Grove Park Inn will not refund the deposit, and the no show fee will stand.

If you purchase a Conference Events Pass from us:

From December 30th until the Thursday prior to the conference, the amount paid will be credited toward next year’s conference pass. Decisions on refunds will be given on case by case basis unless major weather systems or major health problems prevent the guests from coming.

Please note: Kate can only approve rollover registration if you purchase a pass online or from my office. Conference registration rollover is not available for Arts & Crafts Weekend Package owners. Conference registration is processed for all Arts & Crafts weekend package after the event is over, so if you must cancel,  a new reservation must be made for the following year’s conference.

If your workshop has been cancelled:

Either our office or the instructor will send you an email notifying you of the cancellation. You would have the option of (1) rolling over the registration to the next year’s workshop; or (2) signing up for another workshop and receiving a check for the remaining balance.

Total refunds will need to be reviewed by the office of the National Arts and Crafts Conference if it is not due to inclement weather or a serious health condition.
