Studio Artists at The Nave
Supporting local artists supports our community.
Coming from diverse backgrounds and working across a variety of mediums, the Studio Artists who occupy The Nave are free to explore their practice, however they see fit, in an affordable space.
We want artists to have access to spaces where they can create any time inspiration strikes, 24/7. We’ve renovated old Sunday School classrooms into artist studio spaces and created additional spaces during our renovation work, to offer them up for working artists to rent.
Each artist brings their own unique energy to The Nave. Click below to read more about the resident artists bringing inspiration to the space right now.
