Non-Member Registrations Everyone in the community is invited and welcome to register for classes offered by GVR! Our goal is to offer a wide range of leisure, social, and educational classes to encourage lifelong learning and allow you to expand your knowledge, talents, and skills. To optimize your experience, we offer knowledgeable and friendly staff and instructors, state-of-the-art equipment, and classroom space conducive to learning.

If you are unable to attend a class you have registered for, please notify GVR as soon as possible. This allows us to accommodate members on a waiting list. If you paid by cash or check, you will receive an automatic credit on your account, that you then can put towards future purchases with GVR. If you would like to remove the credit and request the amount in a check, please contact a CSR (520) 625-3440. If you paid with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, & American Express you will receive a credit on your card. Please allow up to fifteen (15) business days for your refund to be processed.

Non-GVR members may register for classes in person at West Center. The course fee is $10 higher for non-GVR members. Registration opens two weeks prior to the start date of the course, and early registration is suggested as classes fill up quickly. (Note: Ceramics, Clay Studio, and Lapidary are reserved exclusively for GVR members.) You may receive a “Class Pass” upon registration and must acknowledge in writing that you will abide by GVR policies while attending courses at our centers. Non-members may attend a course that allows drop-ins if there is space available.
