What does a cheap art studio for rent cost?
This is one of those questions which really has no answer simply because it requires a lot more information. What size studio for rent do you need? You just planning on practicing your art in the studio or are you planning on selling art from that studio? Do you need extra room for storage of supplies? Is location important? What kind of security are you in need of?
The best we can do, given practically no parameters, is give you a $600-$2000 per month price range, emphasizing that it could be lower, and it could be higher depending upon the Metro area where you live and that real estate market.
Art studio options to consider.
The question refers to a studio for rent, so we are talking one room, fairly small in size. If you are simply looking for a place to set up your easel and paint, we would think 300-400 square feet will be accurate. If you are looking for a place where you can paint AND entertain possible customers, you will need a studio slightly larger than that, say 750-1000 square feet in size.
At the bottom of the price scale, for those who simply paint for enjoyment and not for business, there are small hobby shops available at many storage companies. In Fort Worth, we would suggest Mouser Self Storage in Alvarado and Blue Mound 287 Self Storage in Haslet. There you will find hobby shop units for rent, less than 1000 square feet, for a reasonable price.
If, however, your painting hobby becomes a business, you will need a shop for rent which has the zoning which allows a business enterprise. We know of artists who have rented refurbished storage containers, much like the ones you find at construction sites being used as on-site offices. If you can find such a deal in an area where the zoning is small business friendly, this may be your most affordable option.
Tiny homes for rent? Prefab structures could be retrofitted into a studio? Both of these options require a place to park the tiny home/pre-fab unit, and that place to park will need favorable zoning, but it is an option which can save you money.
How about where you already live? If you live in a home with a garage, could you turn your garage into a studio? Would the zoning allow that? Could you operate a home business from your existing space?
If none of those options will work for you, it will then be time to turn your attention to more traditional space solutions.
