Glad to meet you.

Membership at Muse costs $200/month. You can pay monthly, with no commitment. Access to the space is guaranteed from 9am-9pm, Sundays through Thursdays. Friday hours will vary; generally access will be granted from 9am-4pm. Artists will be asked to sign a basic membership agreement affirming that they have read and agreed to studio policies; those who violate studio policies will be denied access/membership renewal. A personal liability waiver is also required to use the studio. Membership fees are payable via Venmo, Zelle and PayPal.
 

The workspace at Muse is flexible. Work surfaces, storage, easels and chairs are provided; members are free to rearrange the room as needed during their studio time. Members are expected to return items to the original layout at the end of their sessions, and ensure the door to the studio is locked when they leave. General cleaning services will be provided once a week, members are responsible for cleaning up their own work area and materials after each session. 

​

Supplies and works in progress Dedicated, onsite storage will be provided with your name on it (two 13" cube units with storage bins). All items left in the general area will be considered available for general use. Basic common supplies will be made available to members such as brushes, power tools, papers, cutting and illustration/drafting supplies, etc. Gallery track hanging systems are installed on every wall for storing works in progress. Finished works may not be left onsite unless they are being included in our rotating gallery.

 

Onsite Facilities/Rotating Gallery Display Muse is housed within a suite of offices. Other onsite businesses include a music recording studio, a photographers' studio/collective, and real estate offices. We share a reception area, hallways, and kitchen. Cleaning service for all of these is provided. Muse maintains a rotating display of members' work throughout common areas in the building. 

​

Guests Members can schedule studio visits and bring guests into the space as needed, however, guests using the space for their own creative work are required to pay for a $40 day pass. These passes are not offered to the public and may only be used when a hosting member is present at the studio. 

​

Studio Events/Classes Members can reserve space at Muse to teach private or group lessons. All classes must be scheduled with at least 1 week's notice and will be subject to a fee of 10% of class cost (If you charge a student $100, the studio gets $10). Class scheduling will be according to availability. Studio events such as pop up shows, artist talks, drink and draw, private events, etc can be scheduled with 1 week's notice, subject to availability. Non members will pay a studio fee of $500 to use the space for a one time event. Members pay a reduced $100 studio fee for their own one-time events. Classes are not considered one-time events. An event being run/staffed collaboratively between more than half of Muse members or representing more than half of Muse members' work is exempt from the studio event fee. Our main workspace can comfortably seat 24 attendees.

​

Safety We are committed to maintaining a healthy working environment for artists. Spray paint or solvents of any kind are not allowed in the space (dilute your oil paints with oil!); preference for membership will be given to artists who work with non toxic materials such as organic acrylics, watercolors, ink, etc. All acrylic painting must be done near the windows, with the windows open. This is to protect from the harmful fumes that evaporate from all paints. All drying paints, even if odorless, release vapors that cause major long term health problems. Members who violate the materials policy will void their membership. Power tools, knives etc are always onsite at Muse. For this reason, members are required to sign personal injury liability waivers to access the space. Members, their guests, and event attendees must all be 18+.
