POLICIES

EARLY REGISTRATION IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Decisions to hold a class are based on enrollment five (5) days before class is due to begin. Enroll early to assure 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, by fax to 302.571.0220, or by mail to Studio Programs Manager, Delaware Art Museum, 2301 Kentmere Parkway, Wilmington, DE 19806.

The Education staff will be happy to answer your questions or help you choose a class that best suits your preferences and your level of accomplishment. Contact Heather Jo Wingate at 302.351.8551 or via e-mail at hwingate@delart.org.

Refunds (less a $10 registration fee) are issued only when a written request is received at least 10 business days before the first class meeting. If a student wishes to withdraw from a class, a 75% refund will be issued if the Museum has been notified prior to the second meeting of class. NO FEES ARE REFUNDABLE AFTER A CLASS HAS MET MORE THAN ONCE. 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.

In case of bad weather/emergencies, please do the following to learn if the Museum is closed: call 302.351.8541, listen to WDEL 1150am on the radio, or check WDEL.com on the web. 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.

Class supply lists will be posted on our website at www.delart.org. Class supply lists will only be mailed or e-mailed upon request. Students enrolled in Adult classes must supply their own materials. Clay and tools are available for purchase in the ceramics studio. Lab and materials fees for metals and ceramics classes may include maintenance fees for studio equipment and upkeep. Materials are included for Youth art classes.

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. Artwork will be disposed of if not removed by allotted time.

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

Parking for studio classes is available either on Kentmere Parkway or in the Museum’s general parking lot. Students may drop off and pick up their supplies at the entrance to the Bank of America Education Wing before and after class. Also, parents bringing children to class may drop them off at the Education Wing.
