FAQS
• If I made a regular donation, do I still get access to member benefits?
Yes! We like to think of the Callanwolde membership program as a "donor appreciation program." Whether you give via the donate button on our website, or by filling out the membership form, your funds are going towards supporting our mission!
Anyone who gives $75 or more will receive information about the membership program and automatically be added to our member newsletter list. If you are not interested in utilizing the member benefits, you can request to be removed from the member email list by emailing bgross@callanwolde.org.
• Do I have to be a member in order to register for classes?
No. Callanwolde classes are separate from the membership program. However, a membership is a great way to get a sampling of our class offerings to see what you like! Many of our member events are art workshops led by Callanwolde instructors. These one-night "mini classes" give you a chance to meet various instructors and get a feel for their teaching style before you sign up for a multi-week course.
Learn more at callanwolde.org/classes.
• Are member events kid-friendly?
Most events are open to all ages, with a few exceptions. Any adults-only events will be clearly labeled as such. When registering for a member event, you can always let us know the ages of the guests you intend on brining to make sure the activity will be fun for them.
• Do memberships auto-renew every year?
At this time, no. We will notify you via email when you are approaching the deadline to renew your donation in order to maintain your member benefits.
• How can I find out about member events?
All members are added to our monthly member newsletter list, which is where member events & promotions are announced. If you are not receiving this email each month, please check your spam, or reach out to bgross@callanwolde.org for assistance.
