NEW RATES NOTICE.... coming June 1 our rental rates are going up due to the rising costs of operating a space in Philly. Those new U&O taxes and increased city taxes are real! We are still trying to keep financial barriers to accessing the space low, with daytime and bulk discounts... and if you need ongoing, regular time for 3 months at a time, maybe the Artist Share is you?

We appreciate your understanding and support!

Dance on! 🤸🏻💥
