ABOUT

"Art is for Everyone"

At Paint Cohoes, we believe in the power of creativity to inspire, heal, and connect. Our vibrant studio and gallery, located in downtown Cohoes, New York, was established in August 2020 by local creative Alicia Lea. With a rich background in mural art and early childhood education, Alicia is dedicated to fostering creativity, having taught art since 2009. 

Here in our space and beyond, we are constantly experimenting with new ideas and innovative approaches. Our mission is to connect artists and the community through a variety of creative classes and captivating gallery exhibits, fostering an environment where art is a form of therapeutic healing and a direct documentation of life in our community. 

Our motto, "art is for everyone," reflects our inclusive and welcoming approach to promoting the joy of artistic expression. Whether you are an artist seeking inspiration or a community member eager to explore your creative side, Paint Cohoes is the perfect destination to immerse yourself in the beauty of art.
