About Opening your Studio or a Temporary Studio

Your Studio: Whether in your apartment, house, garage, studio complex (Erector Square, 14 Gilbert St., etc) or a rented studio, you are encouraged to register to open your doors October 3 through 5, 2008. All studios are required to be open from 4-8 pm on Friday, October 3, and from 12-8 pm on Saturday and Sunday, October 4-5, 2008.

Temporary Studio: Artists from outside New Haven or artists in New Haven without studios are encouraged to find temporary studio or exhibition spaces in any of the CWOS neighborhoods Downtown New Haven (including East Rock), Westville, Fair Haven, West Haven, and Hamden / Newhallville. We urge you to be resourceful and find a studio to rent, borrow or share for the weekend on your own.

Resources:
1. Artspace will be announcing the AIRS locations as soon as they have been secured, finding a space near these sites will be the ideal place to open a temporary studio.

2. Artspace has set up an online blog to announce available open spaces and connect artists with each other, both those looking for space and those that have space to share. This blog, called the STUDIO, SHARE, WHERE? Blog can be found at: http://cwos.wordpress.com.

3. Artspace will also hold meetings to connect you with other artists without studios to form groups and share ideas. We suggest you register early and give yourself time to find a space.
