Welcome to our Kitchener Studio at 44 Gaukel!
44 Gaukel is a shared creative workplace located at the core of Downtown Kitchener. Gaukel Street is closed for traffic and you can see Gaukel Block where different Art events take place. The street and building look very creative! You won't pass by!
You can see colorful tables with benches, tables with swing chairs, paintings on the pavement, and murals. Inside, the building is full of different artworks. All done by different artists including tenants of the 44 Gaukel creative workspace.
Besides the building, we have a big parking lot which is free after 5 pm and on weekends. Location is wonderful! We are very close to the City Hall, all the local restaurants, stores and beautiful Victoria Park!
On the second floor of the building, Yulia has a big bright studio with 5 large windows and a kitchen where we create a safe, comfortable, friendly, and supportive atmosphere for students of all ages.
We love to inspire people creating their own art!
You can see a long wall beside the studio full of art class preparations and demonstrations examples.
Yulia also has her artwork collection which is available for sale.
For art camps we always offer two places - a huge exhibition space on the first floor and our studio on the second floor,
because art campers need more space for the whole day.
We also use the first floor space for our student's pictures exhibitions at the end of our art camp week.
We are happy to teach students in this creative environment and be a part of this amazing community of artists!
