Hardy Street Studios Update May 25, 2009
Wow! The response has been very nearly overwhelming with studio spaces leasing faster than we can build them! And the folks we have leased to are an absolutely fantastic group of creatives. A great mix of artists, photographers, video producers and more. If you want to join in this dynamic artist's community...act fast! As of September 5th, all 24 of the new studios have leased, but 5000sf of new studio spaces will likely start construction sometime in the late Fall.

Nance Street Studios is one of the newest additions to Houston's historic downtown art/warehouse district. All new working spaces in a 1930's, all masonry structure. We have several sizes of spaces available that range from about 350 square feet all the way up to 2000. The studios all open onto an extra wide hallway that culminates at an enclosed, interior dock with a 12' x 16' overhead door for easy loading, no matter what the weather.
This is a space designed by and for "working" artists who are serious about selling their work and understand the value of being located in the heart of Houston's oldest and most active art community.
