Frequently Asked Questions For Hosts
Who can list on AtelierBound?
Any host running a multi-day art, craft, writing, or culinary retreat or workshop is welcome to apply. The focus of the programme should be on making something: a body of work, a set of skills, a creative practice. Listings centred primarily on travel, wellness, or yoga are outside our scope, even where a creative element is included. Eligible hosts include independent instructors, small operators, arts centres, and residential retreat venues. Programmes can be based anywhere in the world. All listings are reviewed before publication.
How does listing on AtelierBound work?
Hosts pay a one-time fee per listing or take out an annual subscription to publish as many programmes as they need throughout the year. A fully managed option is also available for hosts who prefer to hand the work to us. Once a listing is live, guests can browse it, save it, and send enquiries directly through the platform. Hosts manage everything through their dashboard, editing listings, responding to messages, and viewing enquiry activity.
How do I get started?
For Single Listing, Featured Listing, and Annual Plans, create a host account. Once your account is set up, you will receive an email walking you through how to choose your plan, submit your listing details, and get your retreat published. For Fully Managed, skip the account step and email us directly at hosts@atelierbound.com and we will take it from there.
Does AtelierBound take commission?
No. The platform runs on a per-listing and subscription model. Hosts pay to list on the directory; everything guests pay goes directly to the host. AtelierBound is not involved in payment processing.
What does a listing include?
Each listing includes a full programme description, host biography, location, dates, pricing, skill level, group size, what is included in the price, and a photo gallery. Hosts can update any of these details at any time through the host dashboard.
How do enquiries work?
When a guest sends an enquiry, it arrives through AtelierBound's on-platform messaging system. Hosts receive an email notification and can respond directly within the platform. There is no requirement to share a personal email address with guests unless you choose to.
How long does it take to get a listing live?
Most listings are reviewed and published within two to three business days of submission. We may come back with questions or suggestions if key information is missing or if photos need improvement.
What are the photo requirements?
We strongly recommend at least three photos. A good listing typically includes a shot of the workspace or studio, an image that shows the location or setting, and at least one example of participant work. Tell the story of your event through the images. AtelierBound provides a photography guide to help hosts present their programme well. Strong photos make a material difference to enquiry rates.
Can I list more than one retreat or workshop?
Yes. Hosts running multiple programmes can create a separate listing for each one. Get in touch with the AtelierBound team to discuss multi-listing options and pricing.
Can I update my listing after it goes live?
Yes. Hosts have full control over their listing through the host dashboard and can edit descriptions, update dates and pricing, add photos, and adjust availability at any time.
What if I need to pause or remove my listing?
Listings can be paused or taken down at any time through the host dashboard. If you need help with this, contact the AtelierBound team directly.
My retreat is in (pick a country). Can I still list?
Yes. AtelierBound is a global directory. Retreats and workshops in North America, Latin America, Australia, Asia, Africa, and anywhere else are welcome. The platform has no geographic restrictions.
