✨ Fall at Cool Arts starts September 8! ✨
9 weekly classes • Tuesday to Saturday • One creative community
This fall, Cool Arts is back with more ways to create, explore and connect! Our studio is now open Tuesday through Saturday, with a fresh lineup of weekly art classes, including Mixed Media, Mosaic & Glass Art, Sculpture, Fibre Art, Printmaking, Painting, Open Studio, and our brand-new Stop Motion Animation project.
🍂 This season’s theme: IDENTITY – Who am I? Through every class, artists will explore their ideas, creativity and individuality while learning new techniques and creating alongside our inclusive arts community.
This is just the beginning of our 2026 – 27 Creative Journey.
Throughout the year, we’ll move together from Identity → Connection → Impact, with special Holiday Camps along the way.
