Wayfarers Studio Program general membership info

Description

Wayfarers is an artist-run studio program, arts space, and psychic home base for creative action. We support the development of experimental work through innovative exhibitions, lectures, screenings, performances, and other cultural programming, all of which are free and open to the public. We foster community by providing affordable studios, workspace and equipment access, as well as organizing exhibition opportunities, critical discussions and social events for members, all of whom who are directly involved with the operations of Wayfarers. We function as a non-profit under the fiscal sponsorship of Fractured Atlas, a 501c3.

First floor studios: We currently are accepting submissions for several studios on the first floor of the building. They are 8' X 12' with lots of clean, white wall space and wood or concrete floors. (In diagram below, it is the one with the X or one very much like it.)

Wayfarers also has several spots available for "Ghost Members." Ghost membership comes with all the benefits of general membership, except for a designated working space. (Some materials storage is provided.)

In addition to their work spaces, Wayfarers offers members wifi throughout the building, a complete wood shop, silkscreen facilities, exposure table, spray booth, and a kitchen/commons area. There is also a 400 square foot onsite gallery that can be used between exhibitions for documenting work, setting up installations, etc. Studio members at Wayfarers have 24-hour access to the facilities.

Exhibition Opportunities: All members in good standing are eligible to participate in annual member shows. After active participation in the program for one year, Wayfarers private space members are eligible to participate in a one or two person show the on-site gallery. All members are also welcome to participate in our Exchange Program whereby we swap galleries with another artist-run space for a group shows. We’ve had exchanges with artists from Bologna, Italy and Tokyo, Japan and have several national and international exchanges in the works. Members also receive free admission to paid events and discounts on any purchases from the gallery.
