If you need to change to a different class, please find your confirmation e-mail and click on the button, “view/change booking.” You will then be able to change to the class of your choice. Please be aware, you may not be able to change a booking once the class has started. If the class you would like to attend still has openings and you are unable to change the booking yourself, please contact us and we will see what we can do to help.

Yes we do! Many of our classes are offered during the school day. In fact, if you are part of a CBI program, let us know and we can get you a coupon code to sign up for classes. We are currently contracted with OASIS and have been with PEARL in the past.

Yes, you can register after a session has started. The session cost will be pro-rated based on the remaining art classes. Cost per class is $10 for one-hour class and $13 for one and a half hour class and includes all art supplies.

Register Early and Save! In the past, we have offered discounts for multiple siblings. This year we are trying something new with discounting for early registration instead. From time to time we will offer coupon codes and promotions – sign up on our e-mail list to be notified, check our Facebook Page Fred’s Creative Kids and keep your eyes open!

All supplies for children’s art classes are covered in the cost of tuition. 

Drop off and pick up inside the building is allowed. Due to insurance requirements, we can no longer have parents or guardians wait inside during class time. If there is a special need that requires you do so we will need to run a background check on whomever is staying.

There is street parking along 9th Ave SW between Fairview Drive and S. Meridian. You can also park along 4th St SW or the green grass lot across from the red gate at the intersection of 4th St SW and 9th Ave SW.

We are located inside the Red Gate of the WA State Fairgrounds — 9th Ave SW between Fairview Drive and S. Meridian. To the left of the red-roofed ticket counters — look for a big blue hanging sign that says “Fred’s Creative Kids Art Classes.” You will enter through a black iron gate and then into the building on the left through the brown door.

Yes, it is very possible that we would have class even though schools don’t. Our schedule is different from the schools. We have a two-week break in December and a one week break in April between sessions. See our class schedule for details. We have class on some holidays that schools have off like Presidents’ Day and Martin Luther King Day. 

Class may be canceled due to snow, ice, or another unseen event. If this happens we will do our best to notify you (please make sure you check your e-mail associated with registration), and schedule a make-up day. In the event that we are unable to schedule a make-up day, we will credit your bookeo account with the amount paid for class. This credit can be used toward a future booking.

Everyone from the Fairgrounds will gather together (in our case we will all be in the Center).  Then we will proceed to load the cars available, as full as possible, and proceed to 5th Ave and up Fairview Ave to at least the Cemetery. There we will gather until we hear what to do next. Most people will be walking but some people might not be able to make that trek on foot. That being the case, we may have to carefully follow crowds of people walking.

Our hope is that we never have to use this information, but safety comes first!
