Policies

Registration

EARLY REGISTRATION IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Students receive $20 off each class if registering before September 5, 2011. Decisions to hold a class are based on enrollment three (3) business days before class is due to begin. Enroll early to ensure a place in the class of your choice. Registration is first-come, first-served. Students will be contacted only if a class is full or a class has been canceled. All tuition fees must be included with the registration form unless applying for a Red Apple Fund grant. Tuition is payable in full with registration and already includes a non-refundable $10 registration fee. No registrations will be taken over the phone. Submit registrations online at delart.org, by fax to 302.571.0220, or by email to Studio Art Classes, Delaware Art Museum, 2301 Kentmere Parkway, Wilmington, DE 19806.

Refunds and Cancellations

Full refunds (less a $10 registration fee) are issued only when a written request is received five (5) business days before the first class meeting. A 75% refund will be issued if the Museum has been notified within five (5) business days before the first class meeting. NO FEES ARE REFUNDABLE AFTER THE FIRST CLASS. Membership fees are non-refundable. If the Museum cancels a class due to insufficient enrollment, registered students will have the option to transfer to another class or receive a full refund. Credits for classes will be issued on a case-by-case basis.

Bad Weather or Emergency Cancellation of a Class

In case of bad weather/emergencies, listen to WDEL 1150am on the radio, or check WDEL.com. An instructor will contact students if he/she is unable to make it to class on a particular day. Instructors will contact students to reschedule classes. If an instructor cancels a class, the classroom is closed to students during that time frame.

Materials and Fees

Most class supply lists will be posted on our website at delart.org. Class supply lists will only be mailed or emailed upon request. Students enrolled in Adult and Teen classes must supply their own materials. Clay and tools are available for purchase in the ceramics studio. Materials are included for Youth art classes.

Storing Student Artwork

Artwork can only be stored in designated areas and must be removed by the end of the semester. If a student misses the last class or if a student’s ceramic work is being fired in the kiln, he/she has two weeks from the date of their last class to pick up their artwork.

No Guests Allowed

Siblings and/or friends who are not registered students are not allowed to participate or be in the classes.
