Artist Atelier Philippines (ARTa) has opened its new creative learning center at Kirov Tower, Proscenium at Rockwell in Makati City, giving children and adults a space to learn, practice, and explore different forms of visual and literary art.

ARTa offers classes in drawing, acrylic painting, watercolor, and writing, along with workshops in other creative disciplines, including floral arrangement and weaving. Its basic and beginner classes do not require a portfolio, making them suitable for those who are simply curious about art, as well as those looking to develop their skills further.

The center’s programs range from basic to intermediate levels and are designed for both children and adults. Rather than focusing solely on technique, the classes give students room to develop their own creative approach while building a solid foundation in their chosen discipline.

For beginners, art materials are included in the registration fee, allowing participants to come into class prepared to learn without having to put together their own set of supplies.

ARTa also conducts private group sessions and corporate workshops, offering creative activities that can be tailored for small groups, teams, and organizations.

For Elena Coyiuto, owner of Artist Atelier Philippines, making art more accessible is at the heart of ARTa’s mission.

“ARTa is my advocacy in sharing the love of art and making creativity accessible to everyone. I hope to inspire people of all ages and skill levels to explore their creativity and discover art as a lifelong source of expression, connection, and personal growth,” Coyiuto said.

The new center is also envisioned as a space for activities beyond regular classes. ARTa plans to hold artist talks, exhibitions, family programs, and community events, while exploring partnerships with schools, organizations, and companies.

With its growing lineup of classes and activities, ARTa aims to make creative learning part of everyday life—whether for someone trying art for the first time, a hobbyist looking to improve, or an artist returning to a practice they have missed.

Program schedules and registration details are available through the ARTa Philippines website. Slots are limited.

Artist Atelier Philippines (ARTa) is located at Unit 203, 2F Kirov Tower, Proscenium at Rockwell, Estrella St., Makati City. The center is open Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
