ArtSpark Registration Policies

MATERIALS

At ArtSpark, all art supplies and materials are provided and are included in your tuition. Occasionally we may need to charge an additional fee for classes that require expensive or specialty art supplies, but you will always be notified if there is a materials fee.

COURSE WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS

Insufficient Enrollment: ArtSpark will make a full refund for any class cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

Voluntary Withdrawal: You may withdraw from any class up to 10 days prior to the first class meeting and receive a full refund, less a $25 administrative fee. No tuition refunds will be made after that time.

Absences: No refunds will be made for student absences or scheduling conflicts.

Weather-related Closures: ArtSpark will close with the Bedford Public Schools; Please check our website for closure information. Time will be made available for make-up classes during the week after the term ends. No refunds will be made for weather-related closures.

COURSE CONFIRMATION

The online registration process sends a receipt of your online transaction to your e-mail account. Classes will be confirmed by e-mail, just prior to the start of class. Students or parents are encouraged to call ArtSpark with any questions about enrollment status. In the event that a course is full, ArtSpark will notify students and fully refund tuition. ArtSpark will make a full refund for any class cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

LATE REGISTRATION

Late registrations may be permitted by the director after courses begin if there is sufficient space for enrollment. Please contact ArtSpark for more information.

COURSE CANCELLATION

ArtSpark reserves the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment and will refund full tuition. Classes cancelled due to teacher absence or inclement weather will be rescheduled at the end of the program or at a mutually agreed upon time. There will be no refunds for weather-related closings.

SAFETY

ArtSpark will not be responsible for escorting or monitoring children being picked up by a Parent or Guardian after they attend a program. Additionally, please contact ArtSpark as soon as possible if either a Parent or Legal Guardian will not be able to timely pick up any student after any program. Please use care when entering the building and parking areas and monitor children at all times.

PARKING

Please park in either the front or back parking lots at 41-55 North Road. Please use care when entering the building and supervise children in both the parking areas and the lobby entrances to the building.

FACILITIES

ArtSpark is located on the first floor of 41-55 North Road, Bedford directly off the lobby area. There is a shared lobby area for your use as well as restrooms located just down the hall. It is best to use the restrooms before class begins, as we cannot be responsible for escorting students during our scheduled classes. Parents, please supervise your students and siblings in these common areas.

MEDIA CONSENT: ArtSpark programs are occasionally photographed and/or videotaped. Enrollment in a program authorizes ArtSpark to have, use, publish, and reproduce photographs or video of you or your children and/or artwork for promotional and public relations purposes. You must contact ArtSpark and submit a written request if you do not want you or your children to be photographed, to prevent photography from being published, or for posted photography to be taken down.

ARTWORK

Student artwork should be taken home after each class. Student artwork may be kept at the ArtSpark studio if the student is continuing to work on it but it may be stored only for the duration of the student’s enrollment in classes. All artwork not retrieved at the end of a student’s enrollment may become the property of ArtSpark. We will make every attempt to return lost or forgotten artwork to the correct student but retain the right to keep or destroy artwork left for more than 60 days.
