I'm in the middle of planning a brand new business and am looking for a decent studio space in Vancouver. From my experience, a lot of the best spaces are found through word-of-mouth. 600-1000sqft, preferably an artists' studio with some room to get messy. An internet connection, of course, is a must. Anyone have any leads?
Cheers,

We actually worked two designers from a van once :D
(only for a week tho)

Was it down by the river? Because location is certainly key. A van, for instance, down by the WalMart will never give you any street cred. A van down by the lake might cut it... but the riverside location really says class like nothing else.

I thought riversides and parked vans said 'prostitute at work'?

Thanks Brandon.
I like that area. I'm over on Commercial Drive... one of my criteria is that the studio be withing dog-walking distance.
I'll swing by there this week and take a peek.
Nice clean site, BTW.

lots of old places with open office space in that area... some decent.. i think its cool cause there are alot of old textile and work shop space..

Thanks, MrDinky.
That area is nice... I have some friends who have a studio there.
I've been in Vancouver for quite a while, so I know which general areas to look in... I was hoping that someone out there would have a lead on a specific space that is or will be available in the next few months.
Cheers.
