What type of lease agreement is used?
The lease is month to month.

Can I share a studio with someone?
Absolutely — after you have gone through the juried application process you may share a studio, with contingencies. While a sub-leasee has less privileges, this can be a wonderful way to make the space affordable and inspire creativity. Each person sharing the studio is responsible for signing the lease.

Do you require a deposit?
Security deposit is one month’s rent and will be returned when you leave if the studio is in as good a shape as when you signed the lease.

What hours will I have access to the studio?
All artists will have 24/7 access. All the artists are responsible to make sure the building is locked up if they are the last to leave.

Are there security measures in place?
We have security cameras inside each of our entrances and the building owners have a state-of-the-art system that covers all the outside areas including our entrance.

Is there parking?
We have limited free parking in the front of the building. Additional free parking is available Mon-Fri 9am-5pm on the local side streets, Bing especially. On weekends and after 5pm on weekdays, additional free parking is available in the front of the building, in front of the building adjacent to the south of us on Industrial Rd. and on the side streets. You may double park or park in the front lot for loading and unloading, but please move your vehicle as soon as possible if it is during regular business hours.

What about insurance?
There is no insurance provided by Art Bias. Each artist is responsible for their own studio space. Art Bias is also not responsible for any art in the halls.

Do you have Wi-Fi?
We have Wi-Fi internet at no extra cost to the artists.

What are the house rules?
Some of our biggest house rules are "clean oil brushes & supplies offsite", "no living in the studios", "no space heaters or any other heating device" and "clean up in the utility sink only". For a more complete list, please see the House Rules page.

What art media are accepted?
We welcome all media with the exception of those requiring heavy equipment or ventilation, such as welding, woodworking, and kiln work.

Is there a portfolio review required? If so, what is the process?
Yes. There is also a one-time, non-refundable $50 jury fee paid at the time of applying for a studio. Please contact us with more specific questions regarding portfolio requirements.
