THE
STUDIO
Studio
Rental
The Print Studio offers studio rental programs to provide affordable access
to printmakers in an environmentally responsible studio for the creation
of their art.
The studio facilities can be rented for varying lengths of time by working
artists.
Studio Rental Passes
Due to the technical nature of printmaking, all renters must go through
an admission process to gain access to The Print Studio facility. This
ensures the safety of the printmaker and the integrity of the equipment.
Admission to the program is assessed in an interview with the Studio Director.
At the time of the interview, artists must show technical proficiency
and be prepared to discuss their equipment usage in the studio. The decision
of the Studio Director is final and applicants may reapply if needed six
months from prior application.

Studio is housed in a 6000 square foot arts centre. Beyond our street
