As the parent or guardian of the minor artist(s) named on the registration form, I acknowledge that by proceeding with the submission process, I am granting permission for all of the minors listed on the registration form to participate in the Kid's Heart Classes hosted by Kid’s Heart and Art.

By participating, I understand and agree to the following terms:

1. Acknowledgment of Risk

I understand that participation in art classes involves the use of various materials (including but not limited to paints, solvents, clays, and dyes) and tools (including but not limited to scissors, carving tools, brushes, glues). I acknowledge that there are inherent risks associated with these activities, including the risk of minor injury, allergic reactions to materials, or damage to personal clothing and property.

2. Release of Liability

In consideration of being permitted to participate in this free community program, I, for myself and my heirs, executors, and administrators, hereby release, waive, and discharge Kids Heart and Art, its board members, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of my/my child's/children's participation in the class.

This includes, without limitation, any liability for:

Personal injury or illness.

Loss or damage to personal property.

Theft of personal items while on the premises.

3. Medical Consent

I certify that I (or my child/children) am/is/are physically and mentally capable of participating in these activities. In the event of an emergency, I authorize Kids Heart and Art to seek medical treatment for me (or my child/children) if I am unable to consent, and I agree to be responsible for any costs associated with such treatment.

If the minor(s) wishes to donate their art to the Kids Heart and Art organization to be used in the Kid’s Heart Show, I understand and agree to the following: 

1. No Financial Compensation

I acknowledge that participation in this event is voluntary and that neither the minor artist(s) nor I will receive financial compensation, royalties, or any other form of payment for the display or use of the artwork or likeness. Proceeds from the sale of enrolled artwork will be donated by the Kid’s Heart Show and Kid’s Heart and Art to the designated 2027 charity: the Ronald McDonald House of SWVA.
