I only know that I do what I can to convey what I experience before nature and that most often, in order to succeed in conveying what I feel, I totally forget the most elementary rules of painting, if they exist that is.

- Claude Monet, 1912

The Cool Arts Society is a non-profit charitable organization that is dedicated to providing art opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities 

Programs

Cool Arts offers classes for transitioning adults in partnership with resource teachers in School District 23. Designed to be process oriented and experiential, all activities take place in a safe, student-centered environment where participants can make discoveries in art practice without distraction.

Supporters

Cool Arts Society could not exist without the support of individuals; and local, provincial, and national granting agencies. 

You too could play a vital role in the vitality of our programming by donating time, funds, or much needed materials and equipment.

Featured Artists

Our current Featured Artist is Shane Cook, who has been with Cool Arts since 2004. His wildlife photography can currently be seen outside Studio 201 at the Rotary Centre for the Arts.

About Us

Cool Arts finally found a permanent home in our eleventh year of operation thanks to generous support from Community Living British Columbia. Our society is located upstairs in Studio 201 in the Rotary Centre for the Arts in the heart of Kelowna's cultural district. Thank you so much to all of the organizations and individuals who have supported us since 2003. 

Events

For the past few years, Cool Arts Society has hosted many fundraiser events. Our board members and other volunteers work tirelessly to bring an extraordinary experience to the guests of our events. The organization has also produced several series of greeting cards to supplement our fundraising efforts. All proceeds go towards the funding of the Cool Arts Society.

Exhibitions

Over the past 14 years Cool Arts artists have shown their work as part of the group at various locations around Kelowna, BC.


One of the biggest accomplishments at Cool Arts was establishing We Are Artists, an exhibition the founder curated in collaboration with the Kelowna Art Gallery in 2009.
