Workshop/Classes Policies & Disclaimers

Updated February 2026

By completing your registration, you agree to this policy.

Registration

Registration for workshops and classes is offered online at SummitArt.org. Please call 816-226-6851 if you need assistance.

Summit Art Members receive discounts for workshops. This discount often ranges between 10-20% of the regular price. Members will either receive a discount code or a specific member link to register for a workshop or classes when registration opens. 

You may join Summit Art prior to signing up for a class and then immediately register for classes or workshops upon confirmation receipt of your new membership.

Workshops and classes are first-come, first-served. If registration is full, you may ask to be put on a waiting list. There is no fee to be put on the waiting list; it is first-come, first-served. Those contacted when a space becomes available will have 24 hours to register and pay for the workshop/class.

Workshops/classes are subject to change, and cancellations can happen. Please check our website, social media, and email for updates.

We recommend you read the workshop/class description carefully to ensure the skill level required is appropriate for you. If you are still unsure, just give us a call. We would be happy to help.

Upon registration for classes or workshops, you will receive a confirmation email. Please provide an email that you will check frequently as you may receive additional information, updates and reminders about your class or workshop. Be sure to read these communications thoroughly.

Personal Conduct

Summit Art reserves the right to refuse registrations/attendance from participants who exhibit or have historically exhibited unacceptable behavior or have disrupted the learning environment. Harassment toward other students, instructors or staff will not be tolerated. Summit Art reserves the right to refuse refunds to those who exhibit unacceptable and/or disruptive behavior.

Supplies

Workshop materials and supplies are typically the student’s responsibility. You will receive a supply list from the workshop coordinator in advance.

Student Members

Many workshops and classes are open to Student Members. Please contact us with any questions regarding students.

Photo Release

Summit Art staff and workshop coordinators reserve the right to take and use photos of the workshop in progress, including photos of artwork and participants. If you do not wish to be photographed, please email director@summitart.org stating your request.

Meals and Beverages

Extended workshops will often include breaks for lunch. Unless otherwise stated as a condition of using the venue, participants may bring a bagged lunch, snacks, beverages, etc. There are several restaurants within either walking or driving distance of the workshop/class location with dine-in and carry-out available. Summit Art will often provide light snacks and bottled water for half and full-day workshops. Summit Art does not assume responsibility for overseeing food allergies during workshops and classes.

Cancellation Policy

We commit significant expenses well in advance to bring outstanding instructors to our community. We understand that last minute illnesses, emergencies and conflicts arise; however, this policy is firm.

Refunds

There are NO refunds for cancellations within 30 days prior to the workshop. Refunds minus a $100 cancellation fee will be made for all other cancellations. If you must depart during a workshop, no refund is given.

Though rare, cancellations can occur due to an artist’s illness, severe weather, personal situations, or registration minimums determined by instructors. A full refund will be granted if a workshop cancellation occurs due to an issue with the artist or Summit Art. You will be notified of a cancellation by the email address you used to register.

Substitutions

Registration may not be transferred to another person. 

Summit Art recommends Trip Insurance for those traveling great distances. Some credit cards will do this, travel services, or auto clubs.

Summit Art is not responsible for losses, fees, or expenses incurred in cancelling travel or lodging or for any other losses.

Location Accessibility

Summit Art endeavors to make our spaces as accessible as is feasible and we will do everything we can to accommodate special access requests. Please call us if you have any questions or have specific accessibility needs.

Please leave your pets at home. Should you require a service animal, please contact us prior to registration to discuss options.

Inclusivity

Summit Art is committed to providing a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment during its programs for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, color, age, religion, national origin, economic status, or political affiliation.
