Hi everyone,

Our last message teased a big announcement, and we’re pleased to share that we’ve just signed the lease on a second Hot Pizza location! Later this spring we’ll open at 1152 College Street, one block west of Dufferin. Same Hot Pizza spirit in a bright storefront with easy drop-off and parking—even a Green P out back.

What does this mean? First, more summer camp spots! (See below.) Also: more after-school and evening courses, more weekend classes, more parties, more everything!

At Hot Pizza, we believe art is for everyone. Thanks to your support, now we get to bring the joy and creative fulfillment of art-making to … twice the everyone!

Grateful and excited,
Julia and Brian

Summer Camps at College St. now open for registration

For those who missed out on our sold-out camps on Osler St., we’re happy to offer seven weeks of camps on College! We offer a daily guided art lesson, spend plenty of time outdoors in nearby parks, and provide campers with many, many opportunities to explore their own interests and create individualized projects. If you’ve seen it as a class offering, the kids will likely get to try it during camp!

• Week 1: July 6–10

• Week 2: July 13–17

• Week 3: July 20–24

• Week 4: July 27–31

• Week 5: August 3–7 (yes, even on the holiday Monday—and a few spots opened up at Osler)

• Week 6: August 10–14

• Week 7: August 17–21

Saturday, April 11, 7–9 p.m. Join Hot Pizza’s resident stationery obsessive, Brian Sholis, for the Correspondence Club, a letter-writing meetup where we share pens, inks, stickers, washi, and more in the belief that our friends and family want something in the mailbox other than coupons.
