Why should I use Space for Arts?

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 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 have the ability to write a detailed description of all of 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.

Not only will the SfA platform provide a booking tool that allows a studio’s booking calendar to be synced with a calendar published on the SfA platform, but the booking tool will accommodate and track; bookings, hold and challenges consistent with well-established industry practices and business processes.

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.
