Application Process
The first step for prospective renters is to request placement on the waiting list by contacting the Manager of Tenant Services (located in the lobby). After the initial phase of screening, the Tenant Review Committee, requires artist to submit a resume, portfolio of work, and a letter of intent detailing how the space will be used.
