When you enroll your child, the annual registration fee and current month’s tuition are due. Also, when you enroll your child, you are enrolling for the full school year.

Tuition is the same every month - calculated for 34-36 classes each school year for 9 months (some months may have 3 classes, other months 5 classes but tuition is fixed for same amount due by 1st class of the month)
Classes fill up on a first-come, first-served basis.  

Class registration can be completed online, at the studio prior to the class or by calling the studio.  

The cost of materials/supplies is included in the class fee.

You may enroll in the school year program at any time in any class (prorated tuition will be calculated if needed), space permitting. Single classes may be available with 24 hour advance reservation, space permitting.

Artists should only be registered for classes that are age appropriate as indicated in the class description

If upon receipt of your registration a class is full, we will contact you to discuss alternatives such as placing your child on a waiting list, transfering your child to another age-appropriate class by giving you the opportunity to register for another class or refund your money.

Allergies:

Clothing:

​

We will be painting, drawing, sculpturing and using really messy medium during our classes and events, and we encourage our students to take chances when creating art. The Studio provides aprons for all students but it is not mandatory. Children learn better when they feel comfortable to move and explore, so we recommend students to wear comfy play clothes and shoes that can get a bit (or a lot) of paint on it!
