    L
    K

    Monthly rent is calculated at a rate of $2.30/sq ft. Please also take into consideration 5% GST and a required $16/month per person for third-party liability insurance.

    What is the insurance required?

    L
    K

    Everyone that rents a space at the Arts Factory is required to have third-party liability insurance. This is not a standard renters insurance and does not cover property theft, it is simple third-party liability as required by the City of Vancouver. We offer this type of insurance for $16/month per artist. You don’t have to pay for this if you have your own policy and name the Arts Factory and the City of Vancouver in it.

    What does my rent cover?

    L
    K
    Your studio space, hydro and electricity, wireless internet and have access to common areas like a kitchen, a spray booth and bathrooms/showers. Studio tenants will also have access, for an additional fee, to meeting rooms and pay-per-use print and copy services in our office level.

    Will I have access to the GNW Scene Shop?

    L
    K

    You can hire the GNW Scene Shop to fabricate pieces or projects for you. Some facilities will be available to book at an additional cost, such as a forklift, truck or driver. Studio tenants do not have access to the GNW’s facilities or tools.

    Are visitors allowed?

    Yes, visitors are allowed as long as they’re accompanied by a tenant. For security purposes, access is restricted to outsiders unless they’re brought in by a tenant or supervised by Arts Factory staff.
