ARTS Studio Space for Rent

The ART House 360 is coming to downtown Verona in Fall/Winter 24/25. Join founding companies Barrio Dance, Slate BLUE Studios, Inventiva Works, and Theatre LILA. AH360 is creating supports to amplify the work of local artists, with an intentional focus on affordable workspace and sustainable creative practices, including artist co-working, teaching artist opportunities, exhibition space rental, performance space, special events, entrepreneurial support, and retail opportunities.

We are particularly seeking music artists of all kinds, including music teaching artists. Overall, we want to expand our artistic offerings across disciplines with photo/videographers, filmmakers, printmakers, and/or fiber artists, for example.

Our organization values and mission are rooted in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Black, Indigenous, people of color, women, trans, nonbinary, and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply and submit our survey.
