GIVE THE GIFT OF ART CLASSES!
If you know which class you'd like to give to a friend, go ahead and register them for the class (click above), but use your own email address.  The class confirmation email will go to you, so your gift will remain a surprise!

If you don't know which class, use the button below to buy "Gift Tuition" in the amount of your choice.  Your recipient will have that amount credited to them when they sign up for a class.

Open Studio

Do you need a place to make art, but are not ready to commit to a full-time studio?  Our flex space is available for drop in sessions.  Bring your own supplies, work on your creative projects and then hang out with us for lunch if you like.  Not only will you benefit from our creative atmosphere, but the resident artists are always happy to discuss your work and offer help if asked.  For details about open studio times and to register call 425-6671 or visit us to get started.

Class Cancellation Policy:
All requests must be made in writing/email.

• Written cancellations, anytime prior to 5 days before the class starts, are eligible for a transfer, a credit or a full refund.
• Written cancellations within 5 days of the class start date are eligible for a transfer or credit only. 
• Under extenuating circumstances a refund (less a $25 cancellation fee) may be approved.
• Once the class starts, there are no credits or refunds.  
• A student unable to finish a class might be eligible for transfer to another class, handled on a case by case basis.
• No-show students are not eligible for a refund, credit or transfer. 
• Refunds for "Gift Tuition" are only eligible for the original purchaser.  Once Gift Tuition is applied to a class, the regular cancellation policy applies, with only transfer or credit available.

Missed Class Sessions:

• If a student misses part of a class, there is no guarantee of made up sessions, and no portion of tuition is reimbursed or credited.
• Attempts will be made to allow for make-up sessions (i.e., in pottery) when possible, but it is not guaranteed.

We want to work with students as much as possible.  We want you in our studios, creating!  At the same time, instructors are contracted and paid, supplies are ordered, and schedules are made based on class registrations.  We appreciate your follow through, and your prompt communication when hiccups happen.

Why we love art classes at VBAC...

"I enjoy every moment of these classes.  The fellowship and the instructions received are valuable.  My confidence is always built up."
Marjorie Craig

"Tons of helpful hints for technique and 'how to do' example demonstrations.  Very worthwhile course."
​Michelle Brackett
