GENERAL STUDIO POLICIES

Studio Calendar

• Art With Jai Studio offers programming throughout the year. Art lesson semesters typically run from January to May and September to December. Summer camps, pop up classes, workshops, and seasonal events are offered throughout the year and are announced on social media and at www.artwithjailen.com.

• No regularly scheduled art lessons are held on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Canada Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or New Year's Eve. If a lesson falls on one of these holidays, it will be rescheduled to another available day that week whenever possible.

Payments & Refunds

• Registration is confirmed once payment has been received. Unless otherwise stated, fees are non refundable and non transferable.

• If Art With Jai Studio must cancel a lesson, class, or event due to severe weather, instructor illness, or circumstances beyond control, participants will be offered a rescheduled date, refund, or studio credit. (During severe weather, I follow closure decisions made by local schools and transit authorities.)

• Email is the primary method of communication for program updates, schedule changes, and important announcements. Participants are responsible for ensuring their contact information remains up to date.

Health and Safety

Participants who are experiencing a fever or other contagious symptoms are asked to remain home. We appreciate your cooperation in helping provide a safe and healthy environment for all participants.

Assumption of Risk

Art activities may involve the use of paints, glue, scissors, clay, and other art materials and tools. While reasonable safety precautions are taken at all times, participation in art activities is at each participant's own risk. By registering, participants acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with arts and crafts activities.

Photography and Media

Photographs of artwork, studio activities, and the creative process may be used for educational and promotional purposes, including social media, the studio website, and printed materials, unless a participant or parent or guardian requests otherwise.

Artist Etiquette

• Follow all safety instructions.

• Be respectful and kind to instructors and fellow artists.

• Treat the space, artwork, tools, and materials with care.

• Wear clothing suitable for painting, clay, glue, and other messy art materials.

ART PARTY BOOKING POLICIES

Booking and Payments

Art parties must be booked at least three weeks in advance. A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to reserve the party date, with the remaining balance due on the event date. Party bookings can be requested through www.artwithjailen.com. Once the requested date and party details have been confirmed, an invoice will be issued to secure the booking.

Party Planning

Party hosts are responsible for providing a final guest count at least one week prior to the event. Any additional guests will be added to the final balance due. The party host is also responsible for securing a suitable venue within the St. John’s, NL region, with access to a sink and adequate space for an art party.

Supervision and Safety

A parent, guardian, or designated adult must remain present for the duration of all children's parties. All guests are expected to follow safety guidelines and treat art materials, equipment, and the event space with care and respect.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

• If Art With Jai Studio must cancel an art party due to severe weather, instructor illness, or other circumstances beyond our control, the party will be rescheduled to a mutually agreed upon date or a full refund will be provided.

• Party fees are non refundable and typically non-transferable. However, if the party host must cancel due to circumstances beyond their control, such as party celebrant's illness, severe weather, or venue cancellation, and provides at least 48 hours' notice, the party may be rescheduled to a mutually agreed upon date.

• No showed or cancelled parties without adequate notice/reason will still be billed for the remaining balance due.
