About Verity Blue Studio and Art Gallery

In 2018 We Completed Construction of Our Studio

Verity Blue Studio & Gallery is located outside the picturesque village of Coldwater, in Simcoe County Ontario. Our property is situated an hour north of the Greater Toronto Area. We feel privileged to reside in Lake Country; on the Trent Severn Waterway, between Georgian Bay and Muskoka Lakes. This beautiful new studio and gallery was built in 2018 as an addition to the main residence. The project was designed by Kathryn (kmk design) and built by her partner, Warren Bennet (Warren Bennet & Sons Contracting Inc.) with Scheffel Construction. This space serves as Kathryn’s studio, as well as her gallery. See our photo gallery in this link.

Attend Our Events or Host Your Own

Our services include individual and group instruction, workshops, retreats and exhibit space. See more details on what services we are offering here. We will also host an evening artist drop in, life drawing gatherings and plein air days. Child minding will be available on site for those who need. The studio will also be available to other artists and instructors who would like to host their own events on our premises. Costs for rental of facilities will be reasonable. Connect with us if you wish to host an event.

About Verity Blue Studio’s Online Shop

We have a limited selection of hand crafted items for sale in our studio, and in our newly launched Verity Blue Studio & Gallery Shop here. Kathryn has been busy creating fabulous face coverings this past year, which are available in our online shop, as well as in the studio.

COVID 19 Update

Because of safety concerns surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, Verity Blue Studio has suspended all workshops, classes and drop-ins. We are doing safe visits only. If you wish to come and see us, contact us by email and we will arrange a wee tour. We are requiring face coverings at all times while indoors, and a limit of five to eight family members or your circle members at one time. When workshops and drop-ins resume we will be requiring proof of COVID19 vaccination. Thanks for your understanding.

Land Acknowledgement

Verity Blue Studio & Gallery would like to acknowledge that we reside on the traditional territory of the Anishinabewaki, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat people. This land is John Collins Purchase (1785) and Williams Treaty (1923) territory. We commit to learn everything we can about this area and the process of colonialization here.  Secondly, we vow to respect this place as well as those who came before us. Thirdly, we promise to work on lessening our footprint, and sharing our resources whenever we are able. We also understand that our land acknowledgement does not begin or end here.
