FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No previous experience is required. Art is for everyone. Your instructor will meet you where you are regarding your skills. If you are just starting out, they will work with you to build your basic skills and knowledge base. Our monthly art classes are geared towards students looking for ongoing study with a working artist. These classes offer individual instruction in a classroom setting allowing you to work at your own pace in the medium of your choice on the subjects that you love.
Each instructor will provide you with a list of basic supplies (paint, brushes, surfaces, tools and accessories) once they learn more about your goals. Supplies are not provided or included in class fees. Most classes are “independent sessions” where the instructor will work with you one-on-one throughout that particular class. They provide guidance, critique, suggestions, and sometimes, goals or tasks to work on outside of each session, if you choose.
Take as many classes as you like, there is no limit on creativity.
Each instructor has policies regarding missed classes. Some will allow make-up sessions while others will not. Your instructor will outline their own policies during your first session. If you have any questions regarding the classes, feel free to contact the instructors!
We require 7 days’ notice before the date of the class or workshop to receive a full refund.
There is no refund available with less than 7 days’ notice, with the exception being if KAS or one of our instructors cancel the class or workshop. In this instance, the full fee will be refunded, or you may apply the fees to another class or workshop.
