Illness Policy
Students agree they will not attend an art class or workshop if they are showing signs of illness or if someone in their household has signs of illness.
We reserve the right to restrict admission or send a student home, when, in our opinion, that person is ill or risks the health or well-being of others. Refunds will not be issued due to illness.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Payment
Payment for art class registration is due, in full, at the time of registration and is non-refundable.
Cancellations
If a class is cancelled by Maggiolly for any reason, registrants will be notified one week in advance or as soon as possible.
Maggiolly Art will provide full refunds if the class is cancelled by us for any reason, e.g. inclement weather.
In the event that a refund is issued for an art class registration, all refunds for registrations paid by credit card or through our online store will be less a 4% payment processing fee.
Withdrawls
Students who withdraw more than 14 days before the class start date are subject to a $10 cancellation fee.
Students who withdraw less 14 days before the class start date are not eligible for a refund.
Students who withdraw more than 7 days before the class start date will be issued a credit that may be applied to any art class within the same season as the class they originally registered for.
In the event a credit is issued, please note these policies: kids art class registrations are only transferable to other kids art classes, and adult class registrations are only transferable to other adult art classes. Registrations are not transferable between different people or members of the same family. Art class registrations are not transferable to art supply purchasing.
Withdrawal requests must be made by telephone by calling Maggiolly Art at 519-942-9560, or by email at maggiollyart(at)gmail.com.
Missed Classes
If you are enrolled in a series of classes and you miss one or more classes in the series, you are not entitled to any refunds or credits for the missed class(es).
For private art lessons, we require 24 hours notice for any rescheduling or cancellations. Any lessons cancelled within 24 hours are still billable.
There will be NO discounts, class credits, refunds, or transfers for unattended classes.
Cancellation of Classes due to Inclement Weather, Government Shutdowns of Business Operations, and other Circumstances Beyond Our Control
Please call 519-942-9560 to confirm classes in the event of inclement weather or other circumstances such as government shutdowns and natural disasters.
Students will be contacted via phone and email when the school is closed due to weather or such other circumstances.
Every effort to provide make up classes will be made but cannot be guaranteed.
Refunds will not be given in these rare cases.
Etiquette & Rules for Working with the Life Model
Remember! Figure Drawing, nude or clothed, is a sacred and sensitive practice for both models and artists. It is of utmost importance, and it is expected and understood, that everyone adheres to the following code of etiquette.
Artists are expected to arrive early and get their workspace set up. Arriving late interrupts the model’s work and disrupts the session for the rest of the class.
If running late, student artists are expected to call Maggiolly Art at (519) 942-9560 and may only be admitted during a break.
Drop-in artists who arrive after the session has begun will not be admitted.
Artists are expected to be respectful of the model, and there should not be any talking while the model is posing. If artists are in an extended conversation and the pose starts, then it should be taken outside of the studio.
Do not play audible music during the pose; the session monitor will select music for the room.
Do not take out your cell phone at all. Turn the ringers off, on silent or vibrate during the session.
Allow the model their personal space during breaks as they rest.
Do not talk with the model during the pose, or to make comments on the pose.
Do not talk to the model on breaks unless they start a conversation with you.
Never make comments about the model's body or appearance.
Only working artists are allowed in the room while the model is working.
In most cases, you should only leave the room on a break - if you open the door while the model is posing this puts them in a vulnerable position.
It is expected that, while the model is undraped, everyone is either actively drawing or teaching.
No photographs or video recording of the model or room at any time!
Please direct any comments, suggestions or ideas regarding the model pose, room or other artists quietly to the session monitor during breaks.
Do not move easels, chairs, tables or horses during the pose, other than slight adjustments. Move only during model breaks; movement can distract their pose and "throw them off.”
Indemnity Clause
Neither the Maggiolly Studio, any of the art instructors, nor any of the assistants shall ever be held liable (jointly or severally) to you, or any of your respective estates or representatives, or any participant, for personal injury or any incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind, or any damages resulting from loss, whether or not advised of the possibility of damage, and on any theory of liability, arising out of or in connection with the Service. Under no circumstance shall the total liability of the Maggiolly Studio, any of the art instructors, or any of the assistants for any damages or losses arising from the Service exceed the maximum amount of the price of the Service for which you paid.
Maggiolly Art cannot be held responsible for any accident which may occur on our premises during an art class. The participant of any art class assumes that participation involves the risk of an accident occuring and the participant or parent/guardian of the participant who is under 18 years of age, must assume all responsibility. Maggiolly Art will not be held responsible for any lost, damaged, or misplaced items belonging to any art class participant.
At Maggiolly Art we embrace the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity to serve our staff, students, volunteers and our entire community.
