Registration Procedure 
Registrations can be in person at the Art Barn; by telephone, on-line. YOUR REGISTRATION IS VALID ONCE FULL PAYMENT IS MADE AND PROCESSED. Please let us know if you wish a receipt. Payment can be made either by cash or etransfer. Registrations are on a first-come first-served basis as soon as session schedules are available.

In the event that the class/camp you have selected is full, you can be placed on a wait list. Individuals on the wait list will only be notified if space becomes available.

Age Requirements Children must meet the age requirements of the class/camp listed.

Safe Learning Environment 
The Art Barn aims to provide a safe, positive, and welcoming learning environment. We reserves the right to refuse admittance to or de-register any student who prevents our ability to provide such an environment. In the event of de-registration, a refund will be issued for the balance of classes for which the individual is registered.

Special Needs

All details of a students special needs must be disclosed at the time of registration. Please note that we cannot provide a support worker, but welcome support-workers arranged and supplied by the family.

WHAT TO WEAR ~ Art can be messy! Although we do provide painting aprons, be sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting paint, clay or charcoal on!

ACCIDENT POLICY~ In case of accident or illness, if a parent or guardian cannot be reached, we will take your child to the Emergency Ward of the Creston Valley Hospital.  Signing the consent form gives your authorization for emergency health services.

PERMISSIONS ~ Photos and videos will be taken during art classes for promotional use. Please contact Beth Swalwell  via email if you are not comfortable having your child’s photo or art used in print, in our social media or on our website.

ARRIVAL AND PICKUP
Be sure your student arrives 5 minutes before (no earlier please) his/her scheduled class/camp time. Please pick up your student on time. Because we are limited on space, we prefer after you let us know you are here to pick up your child, you wait outside or in your vehicle. Please inform us if you know you will be late picking up your student. Instruct your student to wait inside the building and you should escort them from the studio to your car. During peak times the parking lot is crowded. Please take into consideration that our students may include young children. Please drive slowly and carefully.
