Programs

Note:

We’re excited to welcome you to class. Please note that doors will open no earlier than 20 minutes before the scheduled class time. This allows our instructors time to prepare and ensures the best experience for everyone.

Please remember: This class is for registered participants only, and we’re not able to accommodate additional guests such as children, family members, or friends. Thank you so much for understanding and helping us keep classes running smoothly.

Important Class Note: Each participant must bring a clear photo of each animal they would like to include in their painting for reference during class. Photos may be printed or viewed on a phone. Participants are also encouraged to email one or two pet photos to Connie before class so she can be better prepared to help with each illustration. Photos can be emailed as a PNG or PDF attachment to Connie at cstose@577foundation.org.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
We ask participants to register only for classes they plan to attend and to reserve cancellations for emergencies or unexpected circumstances. As a small nonprofit, we intentionally keep class sizes small and affordable. Late cancellations often prevent others from participating and impact instructors who have already prepared for class. We recognize that emergencies and unexpected conflicts happen, and exceptions may be considered in extraordinary circumstances.

>>> If your class is 6 or fewer days away, please call us immediately at (419) 874-4174.
>>> If your class is 7 or more days away, cancellations may be emailed to hello@577foundation.org.

PLEASE NOTE:
>>> Please use the main phone number or email address above. Contacting individual staff members or other extensions may delay your request. Online cancellations are not available.

>>> Refund eligibility is based on how close your cancellation request is to the class date. Please see the Refund Policy below.

>>> Once your registration has been accepted, a 5% administrative fee applies to refunds issued to the original payment method (credit card, cash, or check), regardless of the reason for cancellation.

Minimum Enrollment & Inclement Weather: Classes may be canceled by 577 due to low enrollment, inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. If 577 or a Community Instructor cancels a class, you may choose to:

>>> Transfer to another class, if space is available.
>>> Receive a 100% refund via your original payment method.
>>> Receive a 100% Household Credit to your account for a future class.
