Art studio corner
Inspired to create?

Interested in hosting a gathering?
The space is suitable for two-three painters and up to 12 people for non-painty events such as writing or dry medium art retreats. While there is one painting corner, the space is not set up to accommodate full painting retreats.
Gatherings of up to 12 people are allowed in the space. For each additional person beyond the five who can sleep in the space, an additional $50 per person fee will be added and collected at the time of your stay.
