Cool Arts is the coolest thing I've ever experienced in my life. I am always learning new and fun ways to be a artist at Cool Arts. I've joined the Cool Arts board; I am enjoying the meetings. There is no place cooler then Cool Arts. People at Cool Arts are my friends and like a new family.

Cool Arts artist

Our daughters have had the opportunity to be instructed by many artists; this high quality instruction would normally not be available to them. Cool Arts is a wonderful service and it would leave a void in our daughter’s lives if it were not here.

I am continually impressed by the wide array of projects, artist, and opportunities presented to the Cool Artists to develop themselves as artists. Cool Arts provides a sense of community while giving confidence to individuality and self expression.
