I'm Jennifer Gillooly Cahoon, owner and operator of HeARTspot Art Center and Gallery.

​

I opened HeARTspot in 2017 after serving as a public educator for nearly 20 years. I served as a special education teacher, an art teacher, and finally as an Art Department Chair.

​

I'm a professional working artist (see my work here) who is currently living the dream of working with and helping others through visual art.

​

Here at HeARTspot, I show people that they don't need to have "natural ability" to enjoy the benefits of creating. I also offer a number of classes for artists looking to improve their current skills taught by myself and a large number of talented artist educators. I support artists through my gallery, my gift shop, and by coaching them in the art of the business side of this profession. I also enrich my community by providing an arts based business with a large number of regular free events.

​

In addition to enriching the lives of students, I get to help artists go from "starving" to "thriving", learn new skills, partner with local agencies to assist special populations, and provide free classes for children in need.

​

Get in touch if you'd like to come in to see the gallery, take a class, attend a gallery opening, or teach a class of your own!
