Open Studio is a member-based, artist-run centre. Artists from Canada and abroad enjoy the many benefits of membership, including discounts to art supply stores, workshops, studio rental rates and opportunities for exhibitions and professional development. When you apply and/or renew your membership we’ll provide you with a membership card and the latest list of benefits and requirements.

With the goal of becoming more inclusive and welcoming we have decided that membership will be available to all those who express interest, regardless of active studio use. We recognize that studio access is very limited during this precarious time.

Those interested in accessing our studio facilities must hold current membership. Membership renewals occur annually (between September – November), and the current rate is set at $100 with a 25% discount offered to recent post-secondary graduates. To renew, please click below.
