Accessibility
Accommodations
Acceptance
We work to promote accessibility and acceptance in every way we can. Unfortunately, the studio is on the resort's second floor and has no accessible entrance. If you have mobility concerns we will work to accommodate you and teach the class in an accessible location whenever we can.
Please let us know if you require accommodations for any reason during the class, such as soft lighting and/or no music. If you have concerns about the class's time frame or sensory elements we will work with you to make the class a comfortable space.
If you have any questions or concerns contact Marlene at schalym@gmail.com or Christine at christine.johnson@sympatico.ca
Art is expression, and here classes are a safe space for all identities! Every artwork you create here will be as unique as you are, and we love to celebrate that!
