For what I wanted to map, amenity=arts_centre was the way to go. In American English I've heard of artist's studios or art workshops, > but I'd not heard the word "artelier" before today.

It's also a word that is prone to being mis-spelled as "artelier" it appears. > > So, does this mean it is okay for craft=artelier to be added to the > official Map Features list? Should it be discussed first? > If somebody hadn't already decided that craft=painter meant house painters rather than artists, I'd have said use that. In fact, craft=painter makes no sense for house painters, it should be office=painter (or, better, office=decorator). If I want somebody to paint my house I expect him to apply paint to my house, not to his own office, so he doesn't (normally) perform his craft in his own office. But it's probably too late to fix that. Well, we can (and probably should) deprecate craft=painter in favour of office=decorator but it's probably too late to give a new meaning to craft=painter. Since we have craft=sculptor and craft=handicraft, then for completeness we need something for the studios of painters. OTOH, do we need to map any of those in the first place? I've done so, but only in the cases where the same building is used as both the place to create the works and as a shop for those works, and that's because somebody who goes in to buy may be given the opportunity to see the artist at work. -- Paul
