It allows for local artists to grow and collaborate with one another. The Fishbowl is also the finding group for the Uptown artwalk. The space has been so welcoming and I love coming here to meet with other artists! I've made some great friends! I highly recommend checking out the space wether your looking for a studio or just looking to hang out with other artists!

The room is fine. It all was pretty fine until giving notice to leave…read more Be very careful about the lease. They use loopholes in the language to avoid prorating, and to say your lease is longer than it is. It looks simple until they start "explaining" that, for example, though it says for a one year term, then goes month to month, your "lease" doesn't end until after you give notice-- which also means if you want to leave May 15th you must tell them no later than April 1 ( but it also says 30 days) and if it's April 3, well your lease ends May 31 now and pay a full month. Even if your lease began May 1 and a year would be... May 1. "There is no end date," I was told. "It ends when you give notice..." Month to month isn't a lease, StudioWorks. it isn't a separate mini lease. but they get away with it because tenant rights are all self help unless you can afford a lawyer.

StudioWorks Ballard is qualifying for mortgage assistance during the COVID19 pandemic but still…read morecharging rent. When the moratorium on late fees and evictions ends, they will expect full payment from their tenants and charge late fees at that point if any back rent owed is not paid immediately. As a small business, rebuilding a client volume and making enough to pay rent will be challenging enough, let alone being forced to pay three months of rent. The building is clean, and overall the process up until now was a positive one. Because of this profits-first mentality and blatant hypocrisy in how they view assistance during troubled times, I would recommend you take your small business elsewhere. Fremont Space Building was much more kind to their tenants during this crisis.

There's a wonderful courtyard with a lots of seating and a BBQ, a gym, and our favorite - conference rooms and a community lounge which is can be reserved at no additional cost for a short time or the whole day either by the room, or the whole space. We use the conference rooms often as they have a conf phone, screen for presentations which you can easily connect your laptop to, and a full kitchen just outside. The property manager is friendly and helpful, as well as the maintenance team who is quick and reliable. We've had all positive experiences here, and the other companies throughout the lofts are full of friendly people as well. Being here feels more like home than your typical office building - a welcomed difference vs the typical rental space.

It is run by a passionate woman who is a sewing expert and the classes she offers really help build a sense of community in the cap hill area. The space also offers studio rental space for artists looking for a place to work on their projects. They are also hosting a market for local artists this year. I'm hoping these events continue. Overall, I intend to become a regular at Summit Selvage.

Came here for the community aspect as they hosted one of many locations for a town wide community cocktail walk was going on. We sipped cardamom-lemon vodka here as featured by a local restaurant. While there we chatted with the shop employees who were very nice. While sipping we browsed the studio looking at are pieces by local artists which can be purchased. A perfect example of supporting small business and local art. Push/Pull lives up to their statement being a part of and promoting the community. There is a fair amount art supplies here - including but of course not limited to Sketch books, brushes, glazes, paints, easels and more. They offer classes and have info about events going, so if you're an artist and want to be in more 'in the know' it may be worth checking out Push/Pull simply for that. I hope Push/Pull continues to be a part of the neighborhood!
