Teaching - Workshops - Lectures - Conferences

Due to a full time international portrait practice, the artist has not taught regular art classes since 1978. He is nonetheless available for occasional lectures and workshops in Canada, the United States and Bermuda.

Bernard Poulin Studios do not organize or sponsor workshops. These are administered by local or regional art groups, associations or schools who contract the artist to make these presentations. If you wish a workshop in  your area, please contact Bernard Poulin Studios and the managing agent will help you plan such an event.

For variations on any topics and or themes please do not hesitate to contact the Studio Agent. Bernard will be pleased to adapt any and all of his presentations to your specific needs and requirements.

The amount of workshop fees to be charged participants depends on the expenses incurred by the workshop organizers and whether a potential profit is part of the equation.

The fees charged by the artist (obtainable from agent) are based on a basic fee per participant, per day - payable to the instructor on the first day of the commissioned workshop.

The artist's transportation, accommodation and meal costs are over and above workshop fees. It is the organizing group's responsibility to charge participants an amount which will adequately cover all outstanding expenses incurred in the organization of a workshop.

Per diem fees, therefore, must take into account hall and audi-visual material rentals, etc. For assistance in organizational matters, contact the agent  Bob Richer at Bernard Poulin Studios.
