| STUDIO RENTAL - PROGRAM SUMMARY
|
Overview
Cost-effective studio space for individual and collaborative artistic
use.
Description
The studio space will be a critical aspect of the QBOX facility. Only
by having a space where art is being made by working artists can QBOX
become the unique venue/art space/organization it hopes to become.
By providing cost-effective studio space, and bringing a number of
actively-creating artists together under one roof, we will be encouraging
these artists to collaborate and to share their resources. They will
be able to lift each other up through the vast knowledge-base of the
group. These resident artists will also be given the opportunity to
display their art in the gallery and at large events, giving them
greater access to potential patrons. QBOX will also offer up its non-profit
status, allowing these artists to reach out and find funding for their
projects.
Activities
This program involves:
- Renting out small studios
- Renting out large studios
- Making available a collaborative shop space and a large communal
work space
- Providing high speed internet access in all the studios
Roles and Participants
QBOX staff will maintain the studios, find tenants, and work with
the tenants to facilitate collaborative opportunities. The tenants
will be professional local artists working in mechanical, kinetic
and electronic art.
Impact
This unique space will provide artists with low cost and stable studio
space for the creation of professional-grade art. Creating a studio
space focused on mechanical, kinetic and electronic art, we will be
able to provide artists with access to tools and knowledge that will
greatly increase the quality of their work. These artists will be
afforded the unique opportunity to interact with hundreds of other
artists working in similar fields who are performing, teaching and
exhibiting in the QBOX facility. They will also have the opportunity
to meet and interact with thousands of art patrons who are interested
in the type of art they create, facilitating hundreds of opportunities
to advance their artistic careers. QBOX will constantly highlight
the artwork created in the building.
