Data Storage and Sharing

Your information is stored on secure servers managed by our hosting provider. We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We do not make misleading claims about our programs, fabricate endorsements, or create false urgency around membership opportunities. Our workshop descriptions accurately reflect what participants will learn and experience. We do not guarantee specific artistic outcomes or career results, as creative development depends on individual effort and practice.

We are not affiliated with any government agency or official arts council. Panache Association is an independent community collective operated by and for local artists.
