& FAQs
Registration & Cancellation Policy | Payment is required in full the day you register. Class registration closes 48 hours prior to the course start time. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a class if it does not make a minimum number of registrants. We will notify you 24 hours in advance should we have to cancel a course and we will provide a full refund. We will refund your registration, less a 25% cancellation fee, up to 15 days prior to your class. Please note that cancellations made with less than 15 days notice are nonrefundable. In the event you can no longer attend your class, registration may be transferred to a friend or family member free of charge. Can I pay weekly? | A weekly payment option is available for classes over $95, whereby your credit card will automatically be charged each week until the full amount is paid. Email laboratory@artsciencegallery.com to register using this option. How do I register? | Course registration can be completed online at artsciencegallery.com/labs or by phone at (512) 522-8278. Please contact laboratory@artsciencegallery.com with any questions. What should I bring? | Each course has different supply needs. Prior to the course or workshop, attendees will be informed by email what supplies, if any, they should bring. Who teaches your courses? | Because Art.Science.Gallery. is a multidisciplinary organization, our university-level instructors come from a variety of scholastic and professional backgrounds including arts, sciences, liberal arts, communications, and public affairs. Is there an age requirement for your classes? | Because our courses are taught at the freshman undergraduate level, students must be 16 years of age or older to participate in our courses, except with written permission from the instructor. How does a class differ from a workshop? | Workshops typically have 2-6 hour meetings that highlight a specific subject, technique or skill area. Courses are longer, exploring a broader subject over several weeks, and meetings are generally taught at the freshman undergraduate level. Both workshops and classes can take place in the gallery or in the field if a field trip or fieldwork lends itself to the class learning objectives. Any field trips or alternative locations will be mentioned in the course description.
