Consideration may be taken in cases involving emergency situations. We do not offer class transfers or refunds for illness or scheduling conflicts. This (5) day policy allows the Museum time to purchase class materials, contact teaching staff with enrollment information, and permits the Museum time to contact wait-listed students.

ENROLLMENT: Each class must meet a minimum enrollment requirement. If the minimum enrollment requirement is not met, the class is subject to cancellation. Registrants will be notified of cancellations by email no less than 24 hours before the scheduled class start date and will receive a full refund. 

CANCELLATIONS: The Museum may cancel classes due to severe weather conditions. If the museum closes, our website will be updated and students will be notified via email or by phone. Upon cancellation, a make-up class will be scheduled at the discretion of the instructor.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Please be advised that the Canton Museum of Art records digital imaging and video for promotional use, including websites, social media, printed media, marketing materials, and other publications. By entering the Canton Museum of Art, you consent to the museum using your image and likeness for these purposes. If you would not like your or your child’s image to be used, please notify your instructor at the beginning of your event or class. 

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: In the event reasonable attempts to contact emergency contact info is unsuccessful, the museum will (1) administer basic treatment deemed necessary by CMA staff or (2) transfer the child to any hospital reasonably accessible if necessary.
