Micro-studios at The Cedars Union provide affordable studio space with accessibility to tools, programs, and workshops. Studios are designed without doors and with low walls in order to encourage collaboration, community, and visibility. Though “micro,” The Cedars Union facilities provide additional shared workspace for all members to use.
Having a personal studio at The Cedars Union is an experience designated for our incubator, or Cohort program. Becoming a Cohort artist at The Cedars Union places you in a year-and-a-half program with 14 other peers, chosen by an outside jury to ensure commitment to artistic practice and diversity in experience, media, and background. Applicants request a studio size and upon acceptance enter an 18 month lease commitment. After completing the 18 month "incubation", artists move out and a new cohort is selected. Many Cohort artists stay on as Community Members.
The Cedars Union is currently on its third Cohort. Cohort 3 will run from January 2022 to June 2023. Application for Cohort 4 is closed, artists will be notified on May 31st. Cohort 4 will run from July 5th, 2023 through January 3rd, 2025.
