We’re looking for three additional artists to join a calm, well-loved shared lobby studio space at 81 Prospect Street in DUMBO.
The studio includes:
-Slop sink + low sink
-Elevators (easy load-in)
-Large work tables
-Sewing equipment
-Storage
-Refrigerator + electric tea kettle
-Couch for breaks, conversations, or staring into the middle distance
The space is especially great for textile artists, designers, makers, and musicians. Sound-wise and schedule-wise, it tends to be gentle and respectful.
We currently have three artists using the studio. In the past we’ve had up to seven renters total, but thanks to naturally staggered schedules, there are rarely more than two to three people working at the same time. It truly self-curates, which is part of the magic.
We use a shared calendar to note when we’ll be in the space and what our needs are during that time, which keeps everything running smoothly and communally.
Conveniently located within walking distance to:
High Street A
York Street F
If you’re looking for a studio that feels organized, generous, and quietly alive with making, this might be your place.
I am a bridal designer with a (client facing) showroom upstairs. This is my secondary (back of house) space that I rent out so that artists can have an affordable and enjoyable place to work and create with one another. I do not want to be a landlord so being self reliant is key but I am also wildly accommodating and want this to be a lovely sustainable experience for everyone.
Renting Requirements
-Comfort using WhatsApp for shared studio updates and quick communication
-Willingness to use a shared Google Calendar to schedule time in the space
-$200 security deposit + first month’s rent due upon move-in
February rent will be prorated, of course
