Full refunds will be made if a class is canceled by Danforth.

Students wishing to cancel a registration must contact the school. Refunds will be given as follows: if the cancellation occurs after the first class, we will refund 80% of tuition cost; after the second class we will refund 60% of the tuition cost; after the third class, there is no refund. Exceptions to this policy can be made only in the event of an emergency.

Class tuition is not prorated due to student absence. We are unable to offer make-up classes if students are absent. In the event of inclement weather, cancellations will be posted on our home website and phone by 8 am.

Danforth Art School provides all supplies for children’s classes.

For on-site, beginning level adult classes, we provide supplies for beginning level adult classes for the first meeting. Supplies suggested for all other classes will be provided on the class description page.

Thanks to the generosity of our founding instructor, Nan Hass Feldman, and an anonymous donor, the art school has funding available on a limited basis, for adults, teens, and children seeking to study art at the Danforth. Such assistance is awarded on the basis of financial need, motivation, and potential benefit to the student.

Please see this page on our website for more information.

Yes! Gift Certificates can be given in increments of $50 or the price of a children’s/teen or adult art class.Simply fill out the registration form under the name of the individual you are gifting the class to and we’ll take care of the rest.

For your convenience, a PDF certificate will be included in your confirmation email for you to print out and pass along to the recipient. However, if you would like us to mail a physical copy of the gift certificate to you or the recipient, please email the school at danforthartschool@framingham.edu

Thank you for thinking of the Danforth! We sometimes can accept donations but PLEASE call us first prior to dropping items off. Our supply areas are limited so we can only take items we have room for.
