ADULT CLASSES
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
After more than eight years of using a free app to process class registrations, Cottonwood is excited to announce that we are upgrading to a new platform! Our website will look and function the same as always, but the first time you click on the class date you want to sign up for, you will be prompted to create a user account and password. Once that’s done, you can add children and family members, and you can opt to save your payment method if you wish. Your personal data will never be used for any other purpose than to make future sign-ups as easy as possible for you. This new system will give us a better picture of what we are succeeding at as a nonprofit arts organization and show us how we can better serve our patrons. If you do not want to create an account, you are always welcome to sign up for classes with help from our front desk during business hours. Thanks for bearing with us during our transition this month!
