The Chinook Creative Arts building was originally built in 1926 as the Bituma School, serving as the local school house for the surrounding coal mining communities from Skunk Hollow to Dogpound. It expanded in 1946 to what it is today to include two classrooms, a gym, and a full kitchen. The School House closed its doors in 1963 with the consolidation of the school division and kids were then bused to Cremona School. The Water Valley Public Library is located in one room and there are three other rooms available for rent! The "Kitchen" room has a fully stocked non-commercial use kitchen with seating and tables for up to 40 people. The "Gym" is a 690 square foot hardwood-floor room used for special events, yoga, fitness, dance, and/or any creative art classes with space for up to 80 people. The "Activity" room is located in the basement of the building and has been newly renovated providing a bright space equipped with tables and chairs for up to 50 people for classes and/or workshops that require sitting room. We just completed renovations to our bathrooms and art/crafts room thanks to the Cremona and District Recreational Board Grant. Our location also has an open wifi connection available to all renters.
