Rent an Artist Studio

Poudre Studio Artists Mission Statement: As a cooperative, Poudre Studio Artists nurtures and enriches relationships between artists and the community by sharing a stimulating art experience through open working studios, offering art for sale, gallery spaces and educational opportunities.

Poudre Studio Artists & Galleries has 16 artist studios which vary in size from 109 square feet to 270 square feet. Some studios have windows to the outside and most have windows facing the hallway of the art center for better viewing. See chart below for available studios and rents.

We’re looking for artists who can show their artistic voice in a two-step jury process, and who are interested in participating in an artist community as well as in growing as artists. While we are primarily looking for full-time artists, there are a few studios available for part-time artists.
