10 Things We Need from an Art Studio: Art Life: Podcast

we have created a list of 10 things we need from a studio, to see if we can find a workable solution. We must have a space that people will visit. Where we are now, that’s not an option, not only because we are remote, but also those HOA restrictions we have to contend with. Working from our home would require us to maintain studio space in Houston. We have recently made the move to a much larger studio that Bogdan and I will share, which means that both of us will not need to drive into the city every day. We can work from home often, and greatly reduce the amount of driving we must do. So that’s a win. The studio is a convenient, high end, amd safe venue that people are happy to visit, and makes us look more successful and professional in our business. We must have a gallery space to show our work, and from which to make sales. The current studio at Sawyer Yards in Houston takes care of that as well. There is enough space for us to create a separate gallery section that is distinct from the day to day workflow of running the business. We can check that off our list as well. We also need to be able to have enough space to host events; collector evenings, meetings, classes, exhibitions. The studio in Houston gives us enough space for these types of events, and already has parking, bathrooms, and the infrastructure to make that easy, safe, and inviting. We need to have a dedicated space for running a small business. Again, the new studio provides the space we need for computers, filing systems, delivery address, etc. that allow us to run a business effectively. Sometimes we need to be able to work outside. At the studio in Houston, we can’t really do things like use power tools, spray paint a canvas, use smelly varnishes, lay things in the sunshine to dry. If we worked from home, we would have enough space for those types of projects. We need adequate space to create our work. Now this is a problem. While the studio in town is larger, it’s not large enough to accommodate both of us working from Houston. We could however, use the money we intended to spend on purchasing a new home to remodel and renovate our current house to meet these needs. As it stands, we have a garage space, and a large covered patio that could easily be enclosed to create studios for each of us. We can afford those kinds of alterations, and that would give us a lot of flexibility for working creatively from home. We also need adequate storage of art supplies, seasonal displays, event and catering supplies, chairs and tables, camera and lighting equipment, as well as completed artwork inventory. We do have plenty of room for that sort of storage here at home, and with the purchase of a new van on the horizon, we could transport those things to and from the city with ease. We have to have enough room to continue to run professional photography and video production services. That means we need space to set up backdrops, lighting, tripods, video prompters, and a place to photograph artwork, people, products, and anything else that helps support us financially. The studio in Houston gives us that space, as well as an easy address for people to come to. We also need space and equipment for video production and editing. I long for the days when I could just step into a room that was already set up with lighting, backdrops, and cameras to create vlog, podcast and social media clips. Having this set up in our home/studio environment is a must, and we have the room to do it. We need to have a place to live that is safe and comfortable. We actually love our home, looking out to the lake, in a settled and safe community. That issue is completely resolved if we stay where we are. _______________________________________ Art Life Podcast: Season 2: Episode 07 _______________________________________ “Art Life Podcast with John & Bogdan” is a weekly blog/vlog/podcast that creates a community, a conversation, between creatives in all sorts of fields at all sorts of levels. We want to discuss what we’re learning, what we’ve experienced, and whom we’ve met in our journey of running a freelance creative business. John Bishop is a visual artist living in Houston, Texas. His work is largely abstract, and explores how to turn mythic, archetypal symbols into individual experiences allowing us to see them in a new way, with fresh eyes. Bogdan is a videographer and fine art photographer who constantly seeks to stretch the boundaries of traditional photographic work, with the added flare of his artistic eye. Both artists’ work can be seen online, or at their studios at Silver Street Studios, 2000 Edwards Street, in Houston. John Bishop: http://www.johnbishopfineart.com
