Become a Studio Artist!
Are you looking to rent studio space? Below you’ll find our available studios!
Union Street Gallery is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit art gallery with a collaborative of Studio Artists. The Studio Artists are an essential part of Union Street Gallery! Your application to join the collaborative will be juried by the current roster of Studio Artists! Studio Artists agree to maintain their own studio spaces, attend gallery functions (like receptions and fundraisers), participate in Studio Artist meetings, and contribute to the Gallery through volunteerism, averaging around 60 hours a year. Studio Artists are held accountable for the commitment to the organization through the Collaborative Artists’ Charter and a financial agreement to occupy the space with Union Street Gallery staff.
Once your application has been received, your $50 application fee has been paid, and your application has been reviewed by our current roster of Studio Artists, an in-person interview will be scheduled. Scheduling an interview after receiving your application may take up to one month. Following your interview, the Gallery Director will contact you to let you know the final decision about your application within the following seven days.
*Application fees are non-refundable. All submissions will be considered by Union Street Gallery Studio Artists.*
