£250 per month for the first year, minimum opening hours Tuesday – Saturday, 10am – 4pm (plus various other events).
Frome’s thriving art centre has a variety of studios which are rented to artists/makers. Studio 2 & Studio 3, situated between the River House Café and the Round Tower, will be available from February 2023. We’re delighted that due to ongoing success, both current tenants are expanding into larger spaces inside the building.
The aims of the studios are to ‘Make, Display and Sell’. Their primary function is making, not ‘just’ a shop (though of course it’s a fantastic opportunity to sell directly to the public).
It’s a partnership between the arts centre and central to our ethos that we support new businesses and help them thrive and develop by providing space and opportunity at a low monthly cost. The lease contract is offered for three years, with a break clause after six months to review both sides are happy.
The rent for the first year is £250 per calendar month, rising by £50 p/year for the next two years. Studios are required to be open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm plus Market Sundays and Preview Evenings (6-8 per year). Would suit a creative individual or 2-3 people together.
