When a virtual class is held and no one attends we will provide your library with an art tutorial video that you can share with your patrons for 30 days. The tutorial is a prerecorded and uses a minimum of art supplies, so most people will have what they need to do the lesson at home. The video can be shared on your website or in an email. However, we ask that you do not share it on social media. The video is on our YouTube channel, and only people with a link can view the video. There are no refunds for classes when no one attends.
