Do I stay at C. Barton McCann School of Art or commute every day? Currently no housing is available at McCann so students will need to commute every day. Is lunch provided or do I have to bring my own? Lunch is not provided so students will need to bring a packed lunch. Box lunches can be provided through Benjamin's Distinctive Catering or Dones Bones at an additional cost. (All box lunches must be ordered and paid for at least one week prior to instruction.) There is a refrigerator and microwave available to store and heat up student lunches. How big are the classes? Class size ranges every year and from class to class but there are generally between ten and fifteen students per class.  Can I get a scholarship? A limited number of full and partial scholarships are available for students under 18. In order to apply you must send C. Barton McCann School of Art a letter indicating why you are requesting a scholarship and a bank statement? Yes. All of the art supplies are provided, however we encourage use of personal artist tools such as favorite paint brushes, carving tools, ceramic tools, etc. Is there an additional charge for art supplies? No. The cost of all art supplies has been factored into the price of tuition. Some classes may be subject to material fee such as Stained Glass and Ceramics.
How far in advance do I have to send in my application for classes? Earlier is better but we accept application up to one week before the class you are applying for starts. Exceptions can be made, please call with any questions on deadlines 814-667-2538.
What if I enroll in a class but then want to withdraw? Students have up to two weeks prior to the start date of their class to change their minds and receive a full refund. Withdrawing from a class anytime after that two week mark will result in only a 50% refund.
What if a class is canceled? Classes start with a minimum of six students, if there are not enough participants for a class, it will be canceled and the students enrolled will receive an e-mail notification as well as a full refund. If canceled due to poor weather a make-up class will be scheduled.
Can I visit the school before applying for classes? Yes. Visiting is encouraged and visits are available by appointment only. For an appointment call 814-667-2538 Monday– Friday any time between 9:00am and 4:00pm or e-mail admissions@mccannart.org

Do I enroll in the Studio U classes at McCann or at Juniata College? Studio U requires a special enrollment process; more information will be distributed through our website as published.
How is ceramic work fired? Bisque firing (first firing) usually occurs during the session. Glaze firing (final firing) see below statement. All ceramic work becomes the property of C. Barton McCann School of Art if not removed from the studio within 30 days following the class.
What if I’m in a ceramic class and we don’t have time to glaze our pottery? Because lengths of ceramic studio classes may very each class will be provided with a corresponding glaze date. If students are not able to attend, individual glaze sessions may be scheduled with the instructor based off of the availability of the studio, operations director schedule, and the instructor’s schedule. Glazing is the responsibility of each individual student and can be done at other facilities if glazing sessions are not attended. Due to the safety of students, their work, and general flow of our open studio, students with unassigned glaze dates must take their unfinished work with them.
