A MONITOR REWARDS PROGRAM in place enables you to earn points based on the number of shifts you take. These points translate into discounts that can be applied to your tuition for classes and workshops–NOT to items in the gift shop. Points and percentages are compiled once every four months. Four shifts equal a 10% discount. Monitor more often, and your discount increases. Go to greensburgartcenter.org and click on the “welcome” printed in white letters under the paint tubes.
