Studio program
Curated Storefront Studios offers subsidized studio spaces to artists looking to develop their work in a collaborative and critical environment. This program seeks to create a robust community that builds connections, fosters dialogue, and provides professional development opportunities for participating artists.
Residents are selected from a pool of applicants based on past work and commitment to their practice.
Studios vary in size, ranging from approximately 100 - 600 square feet.
All available studio spaces are located in Bounce Innovation Hub at 526 S. Main Street.
The studio program’s project space, located on the 4th floor of Bounce Innovation Hub, provides a free platform for students pursuing a BFA/BA or MFA in studio art at a regional university to show their work. Proposals for exhibitions are accepted on a rolling basis.
See our events page for upcoming exhibitions and events. Outside of public events, exhibitions are open by appointment only.
Please email Katie Butler for inquiries, application information, or to schedule a tour.
