I don't live in Palo Alto. Can I still register for 

Enjoy! programs? 

Yes! Everyone is welcome to participate. Palo Alto 

residents and children enrolled in a PAUSD school 

receive priority registration dates as well as the resident 

discount rate as shown in the Enjoy! Palo Alto catalog. 

What happens if I am "waitlisted" for a course? 

If the course you are hoping to register for is full, you will 

be placed on the "waitlist." No payment is necessary 

when joining a waiting list. As space becomes available, 

waitlisted participants will be contacted via email and 

have 24 hours to enroll in the course. If we do not hear 

from you in that time, we will move onto the next person. 

How do I read the program listing? 

Why does my child have to be a certain age or 

grade level in order to register for some courses? 

In order to ensure the best experience possible for all 

participants, each Enjoy! course if tailored to specific 

ages or grade levels. Each course in the Enjoy! lists the 

age or grade level requirements. Registrants must meet 

these requirements prior to the first class meeting.

The City of Palo Alto offers Palo Alto youth, adults, PAUSD 

students, adults aged 60+ years, and disabled residents

youth, adults aged 60+, and disabled residents. 

Reductions are only applicable to new registrations. For 

more info, please call us at 650.463.4949

that qualify me for a discount?

for one studio course per Foundation membership per 

year. Call 650.329.2366 for more information.

Current Exhibitions & Upcoming Community Events! 

Under Water explores the rich undercurrents in the 

water around us, through work in a wide range of 

media by a diverse collection of artists. The exhibition 

addresses diverse topics around water—what is in our 

water, how much we consume, how climate change 

has impacted water, how humans have sought to 

control water sources and to what effect, the symbolic 

role of water in moving people literally and 

metaphorically. The artists in Under Water explore a 

range of concerns lurking under the surface, ultimately 

reconnecting us with the tremendous beauty and 

potential of this precious, vital resource. Linda Gass, The Living Shoreline Project, 2017-2022
