Students and artists selected for the Spelman College Summer Art Colony must have a valid passport and a visa or toursit card. Painters should bring art materials with them since there are no art supplies stores in the village of Portobelo. Additionally, students should bring approximately $100 for incidental expenses. There are ATM machines available in Panama City and Sabanitas. There is no need to convert money since, US currency is used in Panama.
