All Village classes meet in #300, the western end storefront (right above Yummy Yogurt!). If your course is meeting in #300, report there for the first class. Plenty of free parking is just steps away.

 

Financial Aid

Financial aid for Palos Verdes Art Center classes is provided by the Beverly G. Alpay Memorial Education Fund for the Visual Arts. Those seeking assistance pay a nominal amount ($25 per class). The Alpay Fund and the Art Center cover the rest of the tuition. Students are responsible for any supplies or special supply fees.
