The planning for the 2008 holiday sale is well underway.

We hate to cancel classes, and we know you dislike cancellation calls from the Art Center, but we need to make a decision about a week before a session begins as to whether to run a class or not. Unfortunately, we get several calls after a class has been cancelled, so please help us deliver better service by registering early to secure your space in a class.

Registrations will be accepted after a class has begun if space permits and with the permission of the instructor.
Tuition is not pro-rated for students who enroll late.
