Celebration Barn strives to make all of its programming affordable for the artists we seek to serve. Discounts and scholarships play a vital role in making our in-person workshops accessible. In recognition of the history that has created vast inequities in the United States and beyond, we prioritize awards to students from historically excluded communities, especially Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
Below you will find more information about discounts and scholarships for students and supporters.

Deposit-only scholarships cover any and all fees, including the shuttle fee, over and above the deposit, which is typically $400 and is required at the time of registration.
