GUEST & RESIDENT ARTISTS

Tucked in the vibrant area of Gastown, La Maison lives on the 3rd floor of the Millennium Building — a bright and welcoming 2400-sq-ft space with direct elevator access. We’re fully licensed, health-board approved, and designed to feel like a home away from home. With lush greenery, mid-century vibes, and cozy corners throughout, comfort and style go hand in hand here. We’ve created a space that’s not just functional for artists — but inspiring, too.

Artists at La Maison enjoy perks like a private outdoor patio, a dedicated photo setup (complete with a Sony A7R5 and multiple lenses), two chill lounge areas, and a stocked kitchenette for snacks and tea breaks. There’s also a big central table for sharing ideas and lunch hangs, and every artist gets a personal locker for supplies. We keep the studio fully stocked with premium equipment and supplies — you just need to bring your machine and needles. We even supply ink for our guest artists.

As an artist-owned studio, we understand the need for flexibility, which is why we developed the La Maison App, making it effortless to reserve a station for the days you need, you can adjust your schedule or explore when fellow artists are working all with just a few taps.

We’re more than a studio that simply provides a station to work, but with a close-knit team that brings a sense of community and warmth, where even our clients feel like an extension of the crew! Whether you’re looking to guest for a period of time, or become a permanent part of our team, we would love to hear from you!

  • Guest Artists have the opportunity to work with us on a temporary basis, whether for a single day, a few weeks, or even longer. As a Guest, you will enjoy many of the studio’s perks while maintaining a flexibility that suits your lifestyle and travel plans.

    This arrangement is great for travelling artists who are able to work and are looking to immerse themselves in Vancouver’s vibrant creative scene. It’s a chance to connect with the local community, exchange ideas with our talented team and expand your network of fellow artists.

    Whether you’re passing through or planning an extended stay, we welcome you to share your artistry, gain new experiences, and leave your mark on the city.

  • Drop-in guests are the same as regular guests, although have no set dates and would simply like to ‘drop-in’ from time to time. Typically these artists are local to the city, or visit Vancouver frequently.

    Artists can permanently stay connected to our La Maison app, giving complete flexibility to book a spot whenever is convenient, whether a last-minute same day booking or planned in advance.

    This setup is perfect for artists who enjoy working at multiple studios in the city and want to expand their network.

  • Resident Artists are an integral, permanent member of our team, working exclusively within our creative space. Residency offers a wealth of benefits, from access to premium resources and creative opportunities, to studio trips, conventions and other events that further enrich your artistic journey.

    Typically, we look for residents that work 3+ days/week on average, and ask that artists guest with us for a month or so beforehand before on-boarding as a resident, to ensure that our space and culture align with your goals.
