The majority of hotline listings are shared with other people, but we also list empty spaces. Sharing a studio can be a rewarding experience, and helps keep costs down. Although sharing living space is not always an ideal situation, the housing crisis and inflated rents in San Francisco have made finding affordable artists' housing for people who want to live alone very difficult. There are several well-established artists' cooperatives in the Bay Area. The following are actual listings that have appeared on the ArtHouse hotline.
Listings vary from high-end loft spaces to raw warehouses to hourly performance space rentals.
The space is located on the second floor of a warehouse on Mariposa Street. It has concrete floors, lots of skylights, and a loading dock. The entire space is approximately 6000 square feet. The 2000 square foot shop operates a sculpture and furniture co-op with shared equipment including woodworking and metalwork equipment and a small foundry. Existing tenants would prefer artistic endeavors rather than a production studio atmosphere.
