An Open Invitation to Artists 🎨☕
With the closing of Piccalo Café (and we hope the team are doing okay), something unexpected and beautiful has begun to happen. Artists have started naturally gravitating toward the space, bringing sketchbooks, paints, clay, ideas, conversations, and creative energy back into the heart of The Arts Village.
So we’re making it official.
The Cottage Gallery is now open to artists every day from 9am–2pm, free of charge.
Bring your art gear. Bring your unfinished project. Bring your good vibes.
Whether you paint, draw, write, stitch, sculpt, design, or simply need a creative place to think, this space is for you. No bookings, no pressure, no cost, just a warm, welcoming environment to create alongside other artists and creative souls.
Come for an hour or stay longer. Make art, share ideas, meet fellow creatives, and help fill the space with colour, conversation, and possibility.
Sometimes when one door closes, creativity opens another.
📍 Cottage Gallery, The Arts Village 🕘 Daily | 9am–2pm 💛Free for all artists
