Classes and Parties

The Gallery School of Pottstown is a non-profit community art school. We offer classes for all ages and skill levels in a wide variety of topics. Click the links on the left to see our current roster of classes.

Important Registration Note
Many of our classes require a minimum number of students in order to run. We try our best to never cancel a class. However, if we do not meet that minimum number one week before the class is scheduled to begin, the class will be cancelled. Please plan accordingly.
See our Class Waiting List policy below for complete details.

The Gallery School also offers birthday parties, group classes, girls' night out,  baby and wedding showers and more. Click the link to the left to see our regular party offerings. Don't see the party you want? Please email us. We would be happy to customize a great experience for you.

Class Policy and Registration Information

To Register: You may register in person, on our website or over the phone. Full tuition must be paid at the time of registration. Make checks payable to: THE GALLERY SCHOOL OF POTTSTOWN. There is a $15 charge on returned checks. Credit card receipts are available upon request. Your full payment confirms class registration unless notified by The Gallery School. To secure placement in class, we recommend registering early.

Registration Forms: In addition to class tuition payment, each student is required to fill out a registration form before attending class.

General Information:  We reserve the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment. In case of cancellation, all students will be notified by phone. Adult, teen and children’s supplies are included unless otherwise stated. The Gallery School offers scholarships to those who demonstrate financial need. Please email for more information.

Class Cancellation: We will notify all registered students in the event of cancellation by the Gallery School, and full refunds will be returned.
 
Refunds & Pro-Rating: A $15 processing fee will be charged on all refunds (unless class was cancelled by The Gallery School), for students who cancel one week prior to class. Up through the second week of class: 75% less the $15 processing fee will be refunded. No refunds for one or two day workshops will be issued. Membership fees are non-refundable. The Gallery School does not pro-rate any class due to late registration or missed classes. Extreme circumstances can be made in writing and forwarded to the director.

Class Waiting List Policy

Some of our classes require a minimum number of students to be registered in order to run.

In order to reach this minimum, we may start a waiting list for a class. Anyone wishing to join the waiting list will be asked to put down a deposit to secure their space.

This deposit will be equal to 30% of the class tuition. Deposits may be in the form of cash, a check or a credit card slip. These deposits will NOT be processed (i.e., checks cashed or credit cards processed) until the minimum number for a class has been met.

One week before the scheduled start date for a class, if the minimum number of students has been met, all deposits will be processed. At that time, students will be notified that the class will run as scheduled, and the balance of their tuition is due before the class begins. If a class has not met its minimum, all deposits will be returned.

If a class meets its minimum before the one week deadline, the same procedure will be followed. Deposits will be processed and students will be notified.

Deposits are non-refundable once a class minimum has been met.
