 OVERVIEW

The main building is geared towards art projects including but not limited to audio and visual production and artist development. The space is set up to deliver top quality audio and visual recording and production, photography, graphic design, illustration, as well as options for printing merchandise including DTG printers, copiers/printers, and a heat transfer sublimation and  silk screen equipment. An artist can walk in with an idea and walk out with the complete demo and promo package, from the produced song, video, images, and some merchandise options to help them kick start their project.

Rental space for artists and entrepreneurs who are trying to further their art projects that fall in line with what the space offers is another thing we provide. Not only will the entity offer it’s services but it offers the space as well for those who have the talent and ability to use what it offers to help further their own business in a rental capacity. Producers and designers can rent the studio and equipment on available days to build their own clientele,  and there is even rental practice space for bands, dance, fitness classes, etc. Some just don’t have the space to get the job done. We do. Come and get the job done. This helps them get on their feet and establish a business they can go out and create more jobs with.

Everyone has something to give and in some cases some people don’t need or want a hand out, they need or want a leg up so they can get on their own two feet. In a sense some just need the space to grow. Things can only grow where there is the space to grow. The conditions, the will, the resources, all of those things and more are great factors, but if there is no space for those things, nothing will grow. Everything exists in a space, but is that space the right space for it to grow, and if it allows growth, in which way? Negative or positive? Is it beneficial or damaging? Does it grow light or darkness? We’re focused on having space that allows for positive light growth and understanding so one is more prepared to go out into the world with a solid foundation.  In a sense we’re offering soil and a starting pot to grow the tree you will put into your own ground later. We’re blessed to have the space and time and means to offer this opportunity as well and so we’re doing our best there. All of the main spaces when not use for the business are open for rental space. This way artists and entrepreneurs who are trying to further their art projects or businesses who may not have access to the equipment we have here can develop their own thing and produce anything that falls in line with what the space offers. Not only will the entity offer it’s services but it offers the space as well for those who have the talent and ability to use what it offers to help further their own business in a rental capacity. Producers and designers can rent the studio and equipment on available days to build their own clientele,  and there is even rental practice space for bands, dance, fitness classes, etc. Some just don’t have the space to get the job done. We do. Come and get the job done. This helps them get on their feet and establish a business they can go out and create more jobs with.

 PRODUCTION ROOMS/LABS

> Audio Recording Studio Rooms:

(1)  Audio Recording Studio Room A has a large enough space for analog and live band recording with  a side booth by the control desk for recording vocals where a live band is not needed for a more direct and intimate layout. The studio is equipped with all of the gear that would be needed for top quality production and recording.

​

(2)  Audio Recording Studio Room B is a smaller sound booth called “The Beat Box” is a single computer with a recording setup for artists who work solo and produce and record, similar to recording at your own desk in a home studio. It’s designed for those who are more focused and don’t need a lot to get a lot done but don’t have access to any other equipment. Also sometimes an artist or producer might want a more private space to work out their style until they’re comfortable enough for a larger room, so this allows a no-pressure at-home kind of feel.

> Band Practice Rooms: Band practice rooms are available for rent as well which are soundproofed as to not interfere with the rest of the building but gives bands and artists a space to work out their live performances which is one of the best ways for artists to make money (door covers/ticket sales and merchandise) due to how everything can be copied online. It’s a great space to work on your stage and other live event performances, and even to film live session videos in that style.

> Blank Space: The Blank Space is a small lounge, comfy enough for a small group or just one person. It’s a quiet space where one can go and just think or read, draw, or write, or do whatever artistic expression they can think of privately and unplug from the computerized over saturated commercial existence the world has come to be and just re-center. It is beneficial to have a space that doesn’t dominate your energy. Studio rooms call for studio performance and mind, while painting or graphics labs call for that energy. This space is blank for you to find or self and then go out and create with a clear and focused mind and being. It’s more than a couch and some chairs with a view, but it’s that too.

> Graphics Lab: The Graphics/Web Design Computer Suite is built to handle the most up to date web and graphic design needs. It is complete with the needed computers, software, and printers.

​

> Photo Lab: The Photo Lab room has a green screen and some other backdrops, as well as lighting, and even some cameras and a computer with the up to date photo and video editing software.

> Podcast Suites: The 2 podcast suites are set up with a computer with some of the most updated  podcasting software and platform access, as well as the best internet for live streaming and top tier podcasting interface equipment. It’s set up for a round table desk discussion and a smaller room for one on one interviews or solo shows.

> Print Shop/Room: There is a Print studio which has a range of printing capabilities from regular documents, to posters and fliers, to direct to garment printers, as well as a heat transfer sublimation machines and a silk screen equipment. The room has is a computer with the most up to date graphics programs to assist in the design and printing of the shirts, documents, logos, and whatever else is needed. There is a large printer/plotter for printing posters and blueprint designs for larger printable things. Also there are the needed paper cutters to cut business cards, fliers, invitations, etc. after printing them. There is even a 3D printer for projects that require it. The aim is to make sure that there is a fully functional print shop for whatever printing needs for our own business and to help anyone else who is starting their own print business or to assist with their graphic design or any other types of business needing prints.

Art Production Center - Main Building

 PRODUCTION ROOMS/LABS PRICING & RENTALS

Not all of the rooms may be available for rent. I don’t know how many people would be interested in renting a print shop/studio. Usually they just go to Kinkos or Staples or some place. For the rooms/labs that are available for rent there is a schedule of availability and a price list for people to know how to reserve the spaces. The prices should be good enough to help them build their clientele and eventually save and build their own location. We’re a revolving door of progress. Come in, establish and build, and then pay it forward in your own business.

It is suggested that guests renting the spaces have their own address or a P.O. Box for a permanent address as the building’s address is not available for use. There are hourly prices for persons looking to use the facility for just a few hours, more of a one time thing. From this idea you can either have packages for certain amounts of hours or get into daily prices. I’m not sure if weekly rentals (or monthly) would be available as it would not be fair to others (and ourselves) needing to use the space. You can also work out the details in the contracts as far as no-shows and cancellation policy.

Room/Lab Occupancy Rates

HOURLY Price: $

ROOM/LAB Rental RULES  
… No drugs or alcohol are allowed on the premises. Some exceptions may be made for specific prescriptions, like antidepressants and other required prescribed medications.
… No smoking is allowed inside of the rooms. There may be a space dedicated to tobacco smoking outside of the home (porch and/or gazebo). These areas will be listed in the description of the advertisement so that those who do not want or need to be around cigarettes can be away from it. It also keeps the house from burning down accidentally.

… Guests must be able to pass the background check and be approved. This is mainly for the safety of the other renters.

… Guests must respect staff and other guests and their privacy and usage of spaces.

… Guests must cleaning up after themselves and are responsible for their belongings and files. It is recommended to bring external hard drives or other external storage to maintain your files and not save to the computers to make sure your work remains private and confidential and not stolen or used without permission.

… Guests are not allowed to have overnight guests or remain on the property outside of their scheduled times unless in designated break, lobby, or lounge areas.

… Guests are not allowed to have pets (except with approved paperwork as service animal).
