Adult Classes & Workshops
Registration
- Unless specified in the description, all classes (aside from YAL) are for ages 18+. Some instructors will allow minors with an adult who is also attending — please call, email, or stop by to find out about a specific class for minors.
- ALNF members receive discounts on our regular classes and most ticketed events. Discounts may not apply to workshops by visiting artists and certain other events where we do not control the pricing.
- Registration ends 1 day prior to class, after which registrations will be moved to the next available and convenient class date unless explicit arrangements have been made in advance with the Instructor.
- We send a reminder to your email address the day before class once you register. Add info@artleagueofnorthflorida.com and info@gatewayartgallery.org to your contacts/allowed senders list to make sure these reminders land in your inbox and not in spam. If you don't see the reminder, check your spam folder and tap "not spam."
- Classes/workshops are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and seats are not reserved until payment is received. Calling to hold a seat does not guarantee your spot if the class fills up with paid enrollments.
- Registrations are accepted via the website or phone with a credit or debit card. You may also register in person at the Gallery during regular business hours. Cash, check, and charge are all accepted methods of payment. We also accept Apple Pay and CashApp Pay at the register.
- You may be asked to present your ALNF Membership Card upon arrival to classes or events if you paid online and chose the Member price option. If you did not receive your card when you signed up, please visit the front desk and one will be provided upon confirmation of your membership.
- Some of our Instructors offer private classes for prepaid groups. Please contact us for more information.
Classroom Etiquette
- Out of consideration for your Instructor and your fellow students, please silence your cell phones during class! Disruptions during class are not conducive to a positive and productive learning environment.
- Students should arrive on time in order to receive the full classroom learning experience.
- Any unregistered party, including children, friends, and family, are not permitted in the classroom during class.
- Please make sure to tidy up your space after your class. This includes wiping up any paint, pastel, or clay.
- Any personal belongings left behind are not the responsibility of the instructor or the Gallery. We do have a Lost and Found, however, so please call us if you think you left something here.
- Please be mindful of the time, as the classroom is shared working space. Classes are sometimes scheduled back to back.
- Your instructor or facilitator might arrive before class in preparation for the lesson or demo of the day. Please be respectful of their time and allow them to set up the space. They will address questions once class begins.
- Certain classes may require a signed liability waiver prior to class. Your instructor will make this available if it is required. Students who decline the waiver will not be allowed to participate.
- If you are sick, please stay home. Rescheduling is preferable to passing germs to other students and instructors. Several of our volunteers are older and/or immunocompromised and becoming ill could be dangerous for them. We will work with you to reschedule — please call us and work something out.
Cancellations
- We reserve the right to cancel any class, workshop, event, webinar, or camp due to insufficient enrollment, inclement weather, natural catastrophes, and health related issues of instructor or staff. We make every effort to notify students at least 24 hours before class, but unforeseen emergencies may make this impossible.
- Dates and times are subject to change as necessary.
- We may elect to postpone any class or event in order to accept additional registrations to meet minimum enrollment requirements. This will be specified in the class description if it applies.
- Please give us as much notice as possible if you can't make it to class. Your instructors are happy to transfer you to their next scheduled class — just let them know!
- Students who don't show up for class without 24h notice may not be eligible to transfer their class fee to the next month. This is left to the Instructor's discretion — discuss it with them directly to request an exception. Their decision is final and the Gallery Curator cannot intercede.
Refunds & Transfers
- Due to limited space and scheduling, and the way payments are processed, we are unable to offer refunds for classes in the vast majority of cases.
- Exception: If a class or event is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled, refunds will be processed as soon as possible.
- Transferring your paid registration to another student for that same class (i.e. to a family member or friend if you can't attend) may be possible with a minimum of 24h notice, and subject to Instructor approval.
- Transferring your own registration from one class to another is only possible if the Instructor is the same for the new class you want to take. Exceptions may be possible — please speak with your Instructor beforehand.
- No transfers will be processed for requests made less than 1 day prior to any class, workshop, event, webinar, or camp.
Photo Release & Waiver
We periodically take photographs during classes, camps, and special functions at our facility. These photos are for promotional use and may be published in area newspapers, magazines, and our publications. By being present during these activities, you consent to the use of your appearance in the above-mentioned periodicals. If you wish to opt out of these photos, please let your Instructor and fellow students know before class.
Youth Art League & Children's Activities
- If your child is sick, please keep them home. Several of our volunteers are older and/or immunocompromised and becoming ill could be dangerous for them.
