Q A F s Classe How often are classes offered? There are four sessions of classes each year. The line-up is different each session so let us know if you are looking for a particular class! Session One runs January to mid-March, Session Two Mid-March to May, Session Three June to August, and Session Four September to December. Pop up events are always being added to the schedule! Schedules are released during the month prior to the Session.
What if the weather is awful?
If Buchanan area schools close the BAC will close as well. The BAC will announce any such closures on our facebook page as well as calling students registered for any class that day. It is imperative to include the best phone number to contact you on your registration forms. Putting our phone number in your contacts list is a help as well. It is a good idea to call ahead and we ask that you use your judgement when deciding to come to class in bad weather.
What is your cancellation policy?
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes! We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. We can accept Apple Pay or Google Pay as well! (Although we probably can’t teach you how to use it!) We also offer gift cards!
Generally, refunds are not available on class registrations except in cases of emergency. In some cases the registration fee may be applied to a different class. Sometimes, we must cancel a class due to instructor illness, weather or other emergency. Every effort will be made to reschedule, however, if that is not feasible the registration fee may be applied to another class in that Session.
How do I register?
Does the BAC offer open studio?
You may register for classes in person or over the phone. Mailing registrations is highly discouraged as the class may be filled by the time it gets to us. Online registration is in the works but not available at this time.
Do I have to fill out a registration form every time?
Yes. A form is currently required for each registration. Not only do these forms help us contact you in case of emergency, they also help us know what classes are popular and who our students are. They also contain important liability and photo release information!
Can I observe a class?
While it doesn’t happen often, occasionally observing a class is possible with prior permission of the instructor. Please talk to our director if you would like to observe. Guardians are welcome to stay at the art center during their childrens’ class, however, we kindly ask they avoid distracting students during instruction. The chairs in the Roti Roti Gallery are awfully comfortable. And did I mention we have wifi? Some classes build in opportunities for parents to see in progress projects or include guardian involvement.
Anyone in the community is welcome to the BAC during open hours to browse our art library, sketch or paint in our sculpture garden, galleries, or classroom (if not in use by a class or BAC project - please check with the volunteer.) Mediums that require equipment or extensive setup are not allowed at this time. Students are not allowed to work in the pottery studio without an instructor or facilitator present.
What’s with the new class description format?
For the most part class descriptions will remain the same. We have updated the way we display class dates and times, along with day, suggested age and fees. Especially with children, skills do not always line up with a specific age so we have included any skills that will be necessary for a student to be successful in class, such as writing, scissor or cutting skills for example.
