As the studio spaces fill up this new group is facing challenges already. The artists are settling into the space at different rates and some might already have a change of heart. Meetings will have to be held with the Ladysmith Arts Council to keep the groups coherent and satisfied. The will be a delay on an open house in the space.
Maybe a public survey on what people expect to see in artist's studios should be made so expectations made of this space can evolve.
What is a definition of an artist studio space? This is a shared artist studio space and everybody is different and everybody uses different mediums and methods towards their artistic disciplines.
Please let us know what a person would expect from a working artist's studio space (make a comment). Have people been in a working artist's studio space when it wasn't open to the public?

Also, some of you might already know that there are 2 artist's studios open downstairs. One belonging to Janice Richards and Dennis Brown. These studio's are opened by appointment only. Dennis Brown is offering workshops:
