Policies | Seven Arts Center

Studio Behavior for All We are here to create art, continue to build relationships with others and have fun. We expect all students (children and adults) to be considerate of our space, materials, our fellow artists and clean up after themselves. In the event a student engages in the bad behavior (disrespecting the instructor or others, physical roughness, inappropriate touching or violence, spitting and littering, inappropriate and crude language) they will be asked to stop. If the behavior continues, the student (child or adult) will be asked to leave and no refunds will be given. – Building Relationships Through The Arts
