For Artists

Skep Space, located at 33018 Grand River Avenue, offers several spaces for rent with varying sizes and amenities. A skep is a handmade beehive, your hive is waiting for you! Do you need a studio space outside of your home? Our resident artist studio spaces are right in downtown Farmington available 24 hours a day, with the open invitation of selling your work directly in our Honeycomb Gallery. Please contact us if you are interested in a studio.

Skep Space is looking for workshop proposals. Artists will provide all materials and set cost per person to attend. Skep will provide space and marketing. We’re happy to consult and work with artists to help develop costs, duration, lesson planning so if you have questions or additional information to include in your proposal, please reach out to our workshop coordinator Brooke Leiberman at brooke.leiberman@gmail.com.
