“Better than video games!”
Hot out of the oven
Here are some of our upcoming classes
Saturday, September 12, 7:30–9:30 p.m. at 1152 College St.
Practice your drawing skills while meeting cool people AND amassing a unique collection of portraits of YOU! Every skill level is welcome and no experience is required. Speed is key, meaning there is no time for perfectionism, over-analysis, or being too precious. We practice drawing each other, together, and while doing so have great conversations and deepen our collective understanding of our uniqueness. No drawing experience required! You’ll see: this will be deeply freeing and joyful! THIS IS PURE, UNADULTERATED FUN YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DRAW, SERIOUSLY.
For adults

Friday, September 18, Doors open at 6 p.m.; screening starts at 6:30 p.m. (sharp!) and runs until 8 p.m. at 1152 College Street ~ All ages
Join us for a playful, surprising, and very kid-friendly evening of short films by conceptual artists. These aren’t ordinary movies: they’re funny, strange, inventive, and full of unexpected moments—the kind of videos that make you ask, “Wait … what just happened?” in the best possible way. We’ll be showing fan-favourite Bas Jan Ader, along with Vito Acconci, Pipilotti Rist, John Smith, Bruce Nauman, William Wegman, Christian Marclay, Kota Ezawa, and more. Don’t know what conceptual art is? No problem! Hot Pizza co-founder—and accomplished editor, curator, and writer—Brian Sholis will guide us through this amazing adventure. Snacks provided, but feel free to bring your own, too! At our 1152 College Street location. Fee is per-person! All proceeds support the Hot Pizza Bursary Fund.
Saturday, September 19, 9:30—11 a.m. at 134 Osler Street ~ Ages 3–6
A playful morning for Hot Pizza’s youngest artists to explore, experiment, and begin finding their own creative voices. Through drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and more, kids will make imaginative projects that feel magical and gently build real art skills along the way. While the kids create, grown-ups can settle in with coffee or tea and make collages of their own—because everyone deserves a little studio time. At 134 Osler Street.
