A universe of all things KOOL,
envisioned and created by esteemed artist Michael Snider.
While the Kooliverse is infinitely-expanding, its epicenter is rooted in Downtown Alton. Michael Snider’s experiential artwork is ever present in our public spaces, making jaws drop at community events, and exhibited at many local establishments.
Michael is the consummate creator, highly skilled in fabricating, woodworking, resin pouring, illuminating, upcycling, custom framing and so much more.
