Early registration allows us to plan appropriately and avoids last minute cancellations. Because of our obligation to instructors, a 50% non-refundable deposit for each class is required at registration. The balance is due three weeks prior to the first day of class. A full refund will be made only when the class is canceled by the Arts Center. For students taking four to eight lessons who might miss a class, a make-up session might be arranged with the instructor, whose decision is final.

The Arts Center reserves the right to cancel any class where the minimum enrolment is not met. Class size is limited and registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Refunds/Cancellations: A 50% non-refundable deposit reserves your spot. Full payment is due three weeks prior to the class. There is no partial refund to students who cancel their registration 12 days or less prior to the start of the class. If you are unable to attend, you may contact the office for a letter enabling you to claim your tuition as a tax-deductible donation. General Information: During their enrolment, students get free admission to the museum and galleries at SVAC.

Materials List and Fees: Some classes and workshops require students to bring their own materials. Students will receive a materials list of supplies and/or tools once we have met our minimum registration number. Students may request a materials list in advance, however, SVAC reserves the right to cancel any class with below minimum enrolment. When materials are supplied, the price will vary by course.

Food and Meals at SVAC: Students are welcome to bring bag lunches and/or snacks to class. Picnic tables are arranged around the studio grounds for your convenience. In addition, a delightful lunch is available at SVAC's Garden Café located in Yester House. Reservations are suggested.

Please contact Christopher Madkour at the Arts Center at 802-362-1405, ext. 20, or email svav@svac.org with any questions.
