40% space (600 sq meters) for established artists in large market-rent studios around large open courtyard, with shop windows, good for potential sales
60% space (900 sq meters) for emerging artists working in shared ‘incubator’ studio spaces.
Large flexible ‘education space’, ideal for teaching messy activities.
Workshops for print & 3D equipment, available to rent on timed basis, and to teach classes.
