TMA Art Class Policies 

Before proceeding, please review our reservation policies. 

Class Policies: 

Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes and stay for the full duration unless excused by the instructor or in case of an emergency. If you are unable to attend, please inform the Studio Programs Manager. 

Students must obtain permission from the instructor before leaving class for any reason, including restroom breaks, emergencies, or other absences. 

In case of an unexpected departure (e.g., due to illness or emergency), students should notify the instructor immediately. 

For documented medical conditions or other valid reasons that might require frequent absences or accommodations, please discuss these with the Studio Programs Manager at least two weeks before the class starts, or indicate them during registration to arrange suitable accommodations. 

What to Bring and Wear: 

All necessary supplies are provided for classes. We recommend wearing clothing that you don’t mind getting stained, as some materials may be permanent. 

End of Class Pick-Up Procedures: 

For safety reasons, parents/guardians must drop off and pick up students under age 15 directly at the classroom door. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For parking information to assist with this procedure, please refer to our parking policies. 

If emergency contacts are unreachable after class ends and there are no other approved arrangements for the student's departure, Museum security may contact the Toledo Police Department if a minor is still at the Museum 60 minutes after class ends. 

Parking Policy: 

Members can enter and exit the parking lot using their membership card. Non-members will receive a parking code on the first day of class or via email, allowing free access to Lot 1 during class times if the gate is closed. 

Parents/guardians should not use the Plough Entrance loop for parking. This turnaround is reserved for emergencies and accessibility needs only. 

Consider becoming a TMA member to enjoy free parking at every visit, along with class discounts and other benefits. Membership information is available online or at Visitor Services. For class, please enter through the Plough Entrance at the back of the Museum. TMA staff will assist with directing everyone to their classrooms on the first day. Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes before class begins, as students can enter the classroom only 5 minutes before the start time to allow instructors to prepare. 

If you wish to stay at the Museum during class, there is limited seating near our classrooms, or you may explore the Museum galleries during operating hours. For refreshments, visit the Museum Café off Herrick Lobby. Check TMA’s website for operating hours.

Emergency Policy 

In case of injury or illness, Museum security will provide basic first aid and ensure the student is as comfortable as possible. If professional medical attention is needed, 911 will be called to transport the individual to the nearest hospital. Every effort will be made to notify the student's emergency contacts. 

Class Changes/Cancellations 

If a class must be canceled, registered participants will be notified promptly and given the option to transfer to another class or receive a full refund. 

To withdraw from a class, submit your cancellation request at least two weeks before the class start date. Requests should be sent to:

In case of inclement weather, classes will proceed if Lucas County is under a Level 1 or Level 2 Snow Emergency, unless otherwise directed by museum leadership. Classes will be canceled if a Level 3 Snow Emergency is declared. Check local TV and radio for snow emergency levels. If a class is canceled, it will be rescheduled. 

Medical Needs/Accommodations: 

Please inform us of any allergies, medical conditions, or specific behavioral, physical, emotional, or mental health needs before the class begins. Providing this information will help us support your student effectively during the class.
