ake-Aways for ArtistsEducation and information about real estate, insurance

Need for artists organizations / cooperatives?

Pool resources

Aggregate demand to interest commercial leasers.

Coordinate real estate negotiations

Manage building

Allow for lease term flexibility

Get creative

Barter space for artwork, painting, carpentry?

Look at nontraditional spaces (office buildings, strip malls)

Consider areas outside Madison

No One Ever Asked

Best method of communication

Where have you been looking?

Who have you called?

What kind of response did you get?


18/23

Take-Aways for Real Estate LeasersDemand exists, but artists may be unused tocommercial real estate terms.

Think small, cheap and functional.Many lockable, private cubicles better than one giant openspace.

Raw, somewhat unfinished space OK.

Natural light, 24-hour access, utility sink, proximity to bikepath, transit more important than beautiful lobbies orstained woodwork.

Some kinds of art are similar to, and compatible with,office use, others are industrial uses.

Consider shorter-term or month-to-month leases

How do you advertise?What kind of response have you gotten?

Have you done any outreach to niche markets?

How much does it cost to keep your property vacant?Have you considered marketing to artists?


19/23

Other Thoughts

Art studios as a temporary use?1-3 year use for transitional buildings?

Minimal capital investment, but somepotential income

Barter / trade arrangements

Model lease agreements

Short term vs. traditional two year lease

Pooled insurance

What is best way to communicatebetween artists and property owners?

Meet and Greets

Matching database

Newsletters, social media, etc.
