Artist studio space available immediately in Elkton, MD. Nice storefront location with large windows and lots of light. Looking for a few (3-4) responsible artists to share space. the space is 650 sq ft and a very open layout. The space will have open exhibition/classroom space so we could sell things out of it and hold classes or whatever else. Rent is a flat $200 a month (your rent would cover space rental and utilities). Wireless internet is available at no extra charge. Rent is month to month.
A little about myself...
I have just completed a BFA from the university of Delaware I am 28, responsible and anti drama. I am a board member of the Newark Arts Alliance. I paint mostly abstractly primarily with acrylics on stretched fabric, though almost never on a flat rectangular surface. I will be teaching classes out of the space. Currently, I teach a home school class, but I am looking to teach more now that I have the space, and you would be welcome to do the same. contact me with any questions at (302)437-4307 check out my artwork

I found a really fabulous networking website similar to myspace, but it is designed for artists. ArtBistro is a vibrant community of artists and designers that want to share their work and help each other get ahead. Think of it as half social networking and half portfolio sharing. We have a very active group of users from the seasoned professional to the pre-college student. Mentoring and career building is a good part of what we do. Create and connect at www. artbistro. com!
