What is Space for Arts?

Space for Arts is a global B2B marketplace of professional productions spaces; for creative professionals to quickly search, discover and book production studios for professional shoots, and for studio owners to promote their available space.

We are a trusted resource for the creative community. Our production spaces are vetted by the professionals for professionals.

How does Space for Arts work?

The Space for Arts marketplace allows creative professionals planning shoots to search for specific studio attributes and locations, to communicate with studio owners and finally to book and pay for the studio. Without leaving SfA, production professionals and studio owners can message back and forth to quickly and seamlessly coordinate, sorting out the details and requirements for the planned shoot.

Where are the studios located?

We launched our site in metro NYC and Los Angeles and are now entering markets throughout the United States and Europe. Today we have studios participating in our marketplace in additional locations including Berlin, London, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Nashville, Boston, Portland, OR, Birmingham, AL, & metro DC and others.

Why should I use Space for Arts?

SfA is dedicated to the professional production community; its design and functionality is optimized for professionals. We are a trusted resource for the creative community. Importantly, we are a free resource for creatives seeking to book a space for their production.

Our production spaces are vetted by professionals for professionals.

For creative professionals, SfA speeds the process of identifying studios that match; the creative vision for the prospective shoot, the budget requirements, the studio attributes, and the studios that have availability. SfA reduces, if not eliminates the time wasted in telephone tag and Google searches that cannot provide the granularity to locate a studio with all the necessary attributes required to plan a shoot. Creative professionals can save time by finding a studio that matches their needs and placing a hold and/or booking quickly so that they can get back to the rest of the creative production process rather than wallowing in studio location logistics.

For a studio owner SfA gives the opportunity to present their space to a focused group of creatives responsible for booking decisions. SfA provides a fulsome list of attributes that studios can use to highlight their space and that are germane to the specifics of a production. Studios can write a detailed description of all their studio's special attributes that SfA's "free text search" tool will identify."

Our free text search tool will match the words from the studio owner's description directly to the words being typed into the search box by the creative professionals; thus, helping speed the search process and connecting everyone quickly and efficiently.

Finally, SfA marketplace participants will benefit from text message alerts, allowing for more rapid responses to booking requests. When a creative makes a booking inquiry the studio owner/manager will receive an alert on their mobile phone.
