New Artist Studios in Falkirk

Posted on by Avril Nicol

Workshop/studio space at 165-169 High Street, Falkirk.

The space comprises three units on the top floor of the iconic former Co-Op Building within Falkirk Town Centre.  The top floor space is relatively open plan and well lit, it is an ideal space for this use.

There are couple of artists and a workshop within the space and are looking for two or three more complimentary uses.

The space is available at cheap rents and the owners don’t promise to offer “serviced” accommodation as such!  However, if you are looking for economic space in a central location on simple flexible lease terms then they would be pleased to hear from you.

Studio sizes range from 300 sq.ft. at rents which are fully inclusive from £250 per month.

The University is hosting a jazz and dance event, held in conjunction with the Speaking of the Sky: Jon Schueler exhibition, on 14 May, 1-4pm. Join us in celebrating the centenary of this American abstract expressionist who was involved in the American jazz scene in the 1950s. 
Glasgow based Pianist/composer Peter Johnstone, fast becoming recognised as one of the leading lights in British Jazz, will also perform with his trio featuring bassist Brodie Jarvie and drummer John Lowrie. Peter won the prestigious BBC Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year competition in 2012.
 
The Glasgow Lindyhop group will also perform and will lead a taster session to show people how to swing dance.
