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. The major skill of an artist being to be inventive, be prepared for diversity ;-) I know one who does truly marvelous things (≃en, ≃re, ≃ru) with just a pencil and paper. Are we speaking of artists or of studios? Can't artists perform in various places, e.g. at home? After defining artist_studio, will we define artist_house, artist_xyz exactly the same? Let's avoid confusion like with historical and castles, natural and water etc. Here come the logical structured tagging rules rescuing us again... building=anykind  (e.g. studio) (equivalent to building:anykind=yes which is usable for multiple, simultaneous building types) anykind:artist=hisart or, equivalently, anykind:artist=hisart=yes (... multiple arts) The artist is, let us say, a property or characteristic of the building, or rather of its particular type and, because building=anykind is the by default, main tag, this can be shortened to: building=anykind artist=hisart artist:hisotherart=yes And now, the media being an attribute of his art (and artist), my friend's becomes: building=house [house:]artist=drawing [house:]artist:drawing:media=paper and his website artist:website=http://... or, if he had split his arts: artist:drawing:website=http://... artist:painting:website=http://... The logical structured tagging's goal is to tend to having different contributors invent the same tags. Except because of synonyms of course. And only if it's used. Cheers André.
