The South Bend Museum of Art makes every effort to hold each class offered. A class must be canceled when its minimum student enrollment is not reached.
Cancellations are determined no less than 3 business days before the class starts.
Summer Camp and Workshop cancellations will be determined no less than 5 business days before the start of the camp.
If a class is canceled, you will be notified and we will try to find another class that will work with your schedule.

Students may transfer to a different class prior to the first week of class without instructor approval. The student will be refunded or charged for any difference in price between the two classes, if there is a difference. Any transfers after the start of the class must have written instructor approval sent to the Curator of Education and Studio Programming via email. There are no additional fees for transferring. Students should reach out to the SBMA office at 574-235-7516 or email the Curator of Education and Studio Programming Katie Neece at neecek@southbendart.org to begin a transfer process.

The SBMA does not prorate classes or Open Studio Passes for any reason.

Open Studios are scheduled for times when there are no classes or events scheduled for a particular Studio. Adults registered for classes or an Open Studio Pass may use Open Studio hours at no extra cost. Classes always take first priority in studios and Open Studio hours may be adjusted due to special circumstances.

No outside visitors should sit in on a class or Open Studio time without prior approval from the Studio Programs Manager and the instructor for the class, if applicable. The exception is if you are visiting to retrieve finished projects or supplies and need assistance.
