Rentals and services

We have spaces available for rent at ArtsForward suitable for almost any occasion, ranging from small classrooms to studios to a larger gathering room, as well as a full kitchen for catered events. 

JUNE 1, 2020
Please note that at this time we will be charging a surcharge of $10 for a half day and $20 for a full day to all rentals to provide for increased sanitation and staffing necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At this time, only the main floor spaces will be available for rent, and all public health guidelines regarding sanitation, social distancing, and gathering limits must be followed. A staff member will be present on site during all rentals to ensure compliance.

Contact ArtsForward to see if the dates and spaces you want are available.
