I'm very familiar with artist studios in Seattle. I can't speak for the world, but I know of buildings containing artist studios. The artists include both 2D and sculptors that work in different mediums (metal, glass, paint, stone) all working in the same building. Usually because the space is inexpensive. I also know artists that rent space in commercial buildings. I even know an artist that rents space in a medical research facility campus. I hate seeing us get into the distinction between craft and art. Many of the struggling artists have their one of a kind work and a production line which often doesn't include their name. The one of a kind is in my mind art, while the production work is something that is art but not exactly. Here, wood is considered a craft, but some work produced is truly art. Let's create a tag artist_studio that can be followed with with a type, ie, painter, printer, sculptor, etc. and medium such as glass, metal, stone, mixed, fabric, etc. Clifford -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
