WHAT PAPERWORK IS REQUIRED?

Each lead artist will be required to sign an agreement with the corresponding organization to reserve your time in the studio. As part of the agreement, every lead artist is required to complete a Place to Space Artist Survey at the end of their contracted rental. Every contract term requires a newly completed survey. This requirement will be included in each organization’s agreements with artists so the program’s success can be tracked, informing our report to funders and helping build support to continue the program.

HOW DO I PAY FOR MY RENTAL?

Payment options vary by organization, but all use a digital invoicing platform. After signing your agreement, you will receive an invoice to your email which can be paid online by debit/credit card before your first rehearsal. Paying by check may also be available. 

• KST - After the agreement is signed, you will receive an email containing the invoice from KST’s Square account. You will have the option to pay online with a credit or debit card. Alternatively, a cheque can be written and taken to KST’s Alloy Studio offices. 

• PearlArts - Upon signing the rental agreement, you will receive an email containing an invoice from PearlArts. Payments may be made via credit card or check. 

• Attack Theatre - Upon signing the rental agreement, you will receive an email containing an invoice from Attack Theatre. Payments may be made via credit card or check, payable to “Attack Theatre” and mailed to: Attack Theatre, 212 45th Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15201, unless otherwise directed by Attack Theatre.

WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY?

When a cancellation occurs less than 7 days prior to the rental date the renter will not receive a refund of their rental payment. However, if Place to Space staff can rebook the space after this time, a 50% refund of the rental payment will be issued. When a rehearsal rental is canceled 7 or more days in advance a full refund of the rental payment will be issued.  

 CAN I HOST A PRIVATE OR PUBLIC EVENT?

The Place to Space program does not subsidize events; however, we encourage you to contact the organization you are working with to request costs and other details about hosting an event.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY “ARTIST”?

The Place to Space program is intended to serve individuals who create artistic products. The program also benefits 501(c)(3) organizations with budgets under $75,000.
