FAQs | Ankeny Art Center

What’s your inclement weather policy?

The Ankeny Art Center follows the Ankeny school district for closures, so if the schools are closed for weather so are we. Your safety is important, so if you feel unsafe driving please stay home.

Can I get a refund for a class?

Should minimum enrollment not be met, class will be cancelled, participants will be notified and a credit or a refund will be issued. If you withdraw from a class up to the day prior of the first class meeting, you will receive a refund minus a $10 processing fee or a full credit towards another class registration. After that time no refunds will be given.

Can my girl/boy scout troop have a lesson?

We offer tours and special group painting classes. Please contact claire@ankenyartcenter.com to discuss details and pricing.

Do you offer private lessons?

No, we do not offer private lessons, but we keep our class sizes small.

For Summer Camps, should I register my child for the grade they are going into, or the grade they just finished?

Students can sign up for the grade they will be going into in the fall.

Do I need to sign up ahead of time for classes?

Once a student is 16 years old, they are able to take our “adult” level classes. However, we do offer classes for 9th -12th graders that are better suited for high school students.

Do you offer classes for Preschoolers?

Unfortunately, the earliest age we offer classes for is Kindergarten.

Are classes repeatable?

Yes! Our classes change each session so they can be taken over and over.
