PS1 workshops are pay-what-you-can thanks to support from Hills Bank, a Johnson County Quality of Life Grant, and individual donors. $230 is the true cost of the workshop for each participant. We encourage you to review the payment options and select the cost you can afford. If you have expendable income, please do not select the no-cost option and leave space for others. When you are able to pay on the higher end of the sliding scale, your payment helps others gain access who might have a more challenging financial situation.
If you are unsure about which fee to select, please reach out to workshops@publicspaceone.com.
