I want to take a class, but won’t be here for all six weeks. Can I do that?
While each instructor has a “lesson plan” for each six-week class, most instructors try to accommodate missed sessions if they need to make an exception. If you know you will be traveling during the six-week session, the Dunedin Fine Art Center will prorate the tuition, providing we are told up front. Missed sessions not reported at the time of registration cannot be credited.

I don’t have any art experience! Do you have a class for me?
The Dunedin Fine Art Center has a little something for everyone, including many classes suitable for beginners. Each class description lists the ability levels the class is geared toward. We also offer a “Creative Sampler” class, which provides exposure to six of our most popular classes to see if a medium appeals to you before you commit to a six-week class in one medium.

I’d like to take ______ class, but I don’t see one offered. Do you offer _____?
While we offer many classes, sometimes our instructors decide not to teach a class for a session or two. If you have an interest in a particular medium, we would be happy to try to locate an instructor, providing you can round up enough additional students to meet the class minimum.

Are supplies included when I take a class?
With the exception of the “Creative Sampler” class, supplies are not included with the cost of tuition. A list of materials is provided for most classes to give you an idea of what additional expenses can be expected. Some classes do have an additional material’s fee listed in the catalog, which is, in most cases, paid directly to the instructor who will then provide you with what you need to complete the class projects.

Do I need to purchase supplies prior to starting a class?
You want to be able to get the most out of every class session, so you should be prepared with a minimum of the required supplies for the first class. You can discuss what additional supplies you will need with the instructor as part of the first session.
