Month-to-Month Studios

Make.Shift is home to 8 private art studios and 11 band practice spaces*, rented on a month-to-month lease. Size, rates, and availability vary.

*Practice hours for bands are 5PM - midnight, 7 days a week. There is 24-hour access for load-in, load-out, etc., but amplified music is only allowed between 5PM & midnight due to the city’s downtown noise ordinance.

If you are interested in renting a studio on a monthly basis, please complete the Make.Shift Tenant Application (you can access it by clicking the button below!) Once you complete that application, you are automatically added to the waitlist. When a studio becomes available, we will email the waitlist to announce scheduled group viewings of the space. From there, the rental process is first-come, first-serve for interested applicants.

PLEASE NOTE: Because we receive so many inquiries and only have a limited number of studios, we cannot respond to all studio-related emails. If you don’t hear back, don’t worry— you can rest assured that you’ve been automatically added to the waitlist and we’ll be in touch when we have a spot open!
