Windgate Art School

Students may park in any guest parking space in the AMFA parking lot.

If the AMFA parking lot is full, students may utilize the parking lot at the Firehouse Museum & Hostel on 1201 Commerce Street or any street parking available along Commerce, Rock, or 11th Streets.

Students may enter the building through the Windgate Art School entrance (see starred location on map).

Follow the covered walkway to the double doors on your left and press the button on the call box. Security will answer and ask which class you are attending and open the door to let you in.

Please use the Windgate Art School entrance as your primary entry and exit point for your classes. This entrance is open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Students will be able to exit after 8:00 p.m., but not enter.

To find your classroom location in the Windgate Art School, please refer to the map in our Mobile Guide and tap on the Art School section.

For youth classes, guardians must escort their child to their classroom at the start of class and pick them up from the classroom when the class ends. Faculty are not able to escort children to and from the classroom.

• For your safety, wear closed-toe shoes in all studios. Do not wear sandals or Crocs.
• If you have long hair, tie it up so it does not catch on powered equipment.
• Wear clothing that can get a little dirty, feels not too loose, and is comfortable to work in.
• Do not wear any loose jewelry like necklaces and earrings. In some studios, even rings can interfere with your work.

All supplies are provided for youth classes, Art for Two, Making Together, and other workshop experiences unless stated otherwise in the class description. A link to view class supply lists is available on the class registration portal and in registration confirmation emails.

AMFA cannot reschedule individually missed classes.

If a class is canceled due to weather, a makeup class will be scheduled. Your instructor will inform you of the makeup class date and time.

Physical requirements vary by studio and art-making medium. More information can be found here.
