"Create & Caffeinate"
Coco's Art Lounge x Local Roots
Starts February 2026
Creativity belongs to everyone.
Coco’s Art Lounge is a family-friendly creative experience serving the Triad. We invite kids, teens, and adults to explore, make a mess, and create something unforgettable. You’ll find us regularly at Local Roots Coffee Shop in Kernersville for our "Create & Caffeinate" art evenings, where art, coffee, and community come together in a relaxed, welcoming space.
In addition to our regular Local Roots events, we also bring creativity on the road - hosting mobile art experiences, pop-ups, and private events throughout the Triad. Wherever we set up, our goal stays the same: to offer approachable art, cozy vibes, and a space where everyone is encouraged to surrender to creativity.

About Us.
Our Mission
Our mission is to spark imagination and joy by by blending art, play, and community. We believe you were created to create - and everyone deserves a space to do it freely. No matter your age or skill, our lounge is your canvas.
Created by Her, Inspired by You
As a lifelong art student, local art educator, and blessed mom to daughter, "Coco", I wanted to create a space where people of all ages can reconnect with their inner child, explore their imagination, and find joy in making art. I believe everyone deserves a place to unleash their creativity, relieve stress, and simply have fun - and we want to be that place for you.
Come play, create, and rediscover yourself through the joy of making art.
