Community Studio space @ Eastworks

Dedicated studio space available in shared studio. $200/month.

Hi, I’m Sharona! I started renting Studio 228 in November 2020 with the intention of developing a creative community. Over the years, a collective of 7+ artists (called The Art Band) has grown out of the space, along with my mural business, The Color Collaborative, and a well-nurtured personal art practice.

This space is a great mix of public and private. Our collective hosts gallery shows annually in the space and gets together at least once a month for workshops and gatherings. Depending on projects, the space is used as a mural studio intermittently throughout the spring and summer. That means we have a team of artists in the space painting a few times a week. Schedules can easily be made to accommodate different studio needs. We are located in the Eastworks building in Easthampton. We have lovely neighbors, and the space is easily accessible to the public, should you want to host events/classes.

The space is best suited for someone who is looking for fertile ground to grow their practice. The space has supported many artists, and it is my intention to keep that spirit strong. We have given countless hours to developing the space, and it gives back tenfold. We are established and open to new energy joining us to help us continue to grow. We believe that more is possible when we work together—and having a supportive space gives us the stability to take our time and intentionally develop our art. We are in no rush.

If you’re interested in joining Studio 228, send me an email. Please write a few sentences about yourself and your interest. I’m excited to hear about your art and your visions.
