Membership FAQ’s

CoWork members (bronze-platinum level) share Artisan Alley’s communal resources, but don’t have a dedicated or private studio space. This option is great for people who don’t need additional space but want to access our resources and connect with our collective. It is also great if you don’t have an immediate need for a studio, as private studios come at a higher price. This option is a 6-month commitment.

Resident members receive all the same benefits as platinum-level CoWork members and have a studio at one of our locations that can be accessed 24/7. Resident members are also asked to contribute to the collective’s resources by either donating 10 hours per month to either join one of our committees, teach classes or pay $40 in member dues. This option is for a 1-year commitment.

In order to receive benefits, there is a $15 application fee, as well as a $100 refundable deposit for any membership. Most member tiers have monthly member dues. However, a bronze-level member can contribute 20 hours/month to retain membership, rather than paying monthly member dues. We also offer member scholarships to assist members who are unable to pay membership dues or contribute time.

Yes, membership deposits are 100% refundable, providing you are in good standing ( i.e. there is no physical damage to the space, and you are not in default of your financial or member obligations).

Yes in most cases! All of our locations are available for personal use by our members. However, If you plan on hosting an event, charging for the use of the space, or teaching classes, we ask that you check our calendar to make sure the space isn’t already reserved and let us know well in advance when you want to reserve the space. For these gatherings, when other members cannot access the space, it is considered venue rental usage. In these agreements, you would pay the discounted member venue rental fee. We understand all events are different, so feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have about your event ideas or what constituted a venue rental or just utilizing the membership.
