Studio Space Available at the RCA
The Kelowna Visual and Performing Arts Centre Society has announced that a studio space will become available at the Rotary Centre for the Arts on August 1, 2009. Visual artists and art organizations in the community interested in full-time studio space are encouraged to apply in writing by June 14, 2009.
After being a resident artist since 2005, Janice Fingado of Studio 203 is on the move to Tucson Arizona. All of the staff at the RCA would like to wish Janice the best of luck in her future endeavors. Janice, who never ceases to be an inspiration, will be missed very much by the staff and all of her students.
In keeping with the mandate to offer studios as art production spaces in which artists can nurture their creative growth and establish their artistic careers, the successful applicant will receive an offer to lease for one year.
The lease rate for studio 203 with utilities is $10 per square foot or $308.33 per month, and is subject to an annual increase by EPI effective January 1, 2010. The lease rate for non-profit organizations will be based on two-thirds of these rates. The 2008 property taxes ranged from $700-$1000 annually based on studio square footage.
