FAQs
Class & Workshop Registration
Participants are encouraged to register for classes and workshops online and in advance. Same-day registration is not available, as instructors need time to prepare materials and plan effectively. Each class or workshop has a set capacity, determined by the instructor’s preferences, the type of materials required, and available space. Once a class is full, registration will automatically close. In most cases, registration closes one week before the start date, at which time instructors receive the final roster of participants.
I’ve never studied art. Do I need to be an artist to take a class at the Museum?
No, you do not need to be an artist. Many of our students are beginners with little or no experience. The class description will specify the level of difficulty or if any previous experience is needed.
Where do I park?
If your class meets before 5pm on a weekday, park on the street and feed the meter. There are several metered parking spaces on 5th Street and State Street. (Fifth Street meters allow you up to eight hours.)
Can my child/teenager take an adult class? Is there an age requirement?
The adult classes are recommended for students ages 16 and older. If you have a student that is younger contact us to see if this is right for your child.
I am not able to make every session; can I just pay for the classes I will attend?
Sorry, we do not offer prorated classes. You may be able to make up missed classes before or after class, depending on instructor’s availability.
