I'm a painter and recently got kicked out of my storage unit for using it as a workspace (to paint in).I called around and every storage company has a policy against "actively working" in a storage unit.There are rentable art studios, but they start around $50 per hour, vs. the $49/mo I was paying for the unit.i thought about building a structure out in the woods, but it's a serious crime to destroy public land, and my idea would qualify as that. I asked my neighbors if I could rent their garages, but they are all using them for storage.i really need something 8'x5' with a flat level floor, power outlet, and private.Budget is $300/mo
>>34178928first off good for you for making art. I love you OP. Unless your art is shit. Don't show me your art in case it's shit. second off, ask all of your neighbors if they know anybody. if that fails, make a bunch of facebook/craigslist/etc ads. your best bet is someone's garage.
>>34179008thank you for the advice and kind words. I think you're right about a garage being the key here. I'm seeing some condo-style garages, and it's great because I can access them 24/7 without bothering someone in an attached home with garage door opener noise.i didn't realize I could make ads requesting it, so that idea is pure gold and exactly what I was looking for.Lucky to have come across a fellow art lover so quickly!
Can't you just rent out a shitty office space? I see some locally for like 400 a month im sure there is cheaper.
>>34178928Rent another storage space and be more discreet.
>>34179068it's about the same here. 33% over budget but I could always raise the prices on the paintings.>>34179431there's only so much I can do. everything is electronic access these days and the computer tattles that I've been there 10+ hours each day and flags me as a worker
