Dorm Questions - Dorm Answers


ANSWERS FROM THE WEBSITE FOR ARTFEST:

DORMS - These buildings have very small single rooms with communal bathrooms down the hall. Two of the dorms have communal showers but we procure extra bathrooms/showers upstairs and post sign-up sheets so everyone can have privacy while showering. Linens, pillow, blanket, towels, etc. are included with each room, but some folks like to bring their own pillow and an extra blanket. Make no doubt about it, these are bare bones rooms but we have people request them every year.

If you are sharing a room with someone you do not know, you will be placed in a room with bunk beds. Each person gets a whole bunkbed to themselves (bottom for sleeping, top for suitcase).

Staying in the dorms or one of the houses provides a unique experience that helps make Artfest what it is. Folks usually have show and tell each night in their house or dorm and make friends which last long after the retreat is over.

The Fort got in a new local chef team in 2008 and they were so well liked that they will be here to stay. They specialize in local, mostly organic fare and the raves from our attendees last year were loud and clear. The food is gourmet quality but also healthy and nutritious. The head chef came from a local restaurant that would always receive much praise (Wild Coho). They always provide a good selection of entrees & sides, a salad bar and a selection of desserts along with a soda fountain.
