Join Our Artist Community
A shared studio for making things
Make Well memberships are designed for artists who want a consistent place to work, room to spread out, and a creative community around them.
Members receive access to our shared art studio, assigned storage, photo studio benefits, and opportunities to connect, collaborate, and share their work.
We keep our membership community intentionally small so the studio remains calm, functional, and enjoyable for everyone. Membership availability may be limited.

Frequently Asked Questions
For any additional questions, please email hello@makewell.studio or book a tour with our team.
-
A membership gives you ongoing access to our shared art studio and creative community.
It is designed for artists and creative people who want a welcoming place to work outside their homes without taking on the cost or commitment of a private studio.
-
No. Make Well is a shared working studio.
Members use communal tables, open working areas, and shared resources rather than individually enclosed studios. The goal is to give everyone room to create while still keeping the space collaborative and community-oriented.
-
Members can choose an available workspace when they arrive.
Because tables and floor space are shared, we ask that projects and supplies be cleared away at the end of each working session unless another arrangement has been made.
-
Yes. Each member receives an assigned shelf for everyday materials and supplies.
Storage is intentionally limited so the studio stays comfortable and functional for everyone. Please check with us before bringing in large equipment, furniture, or supplies that will not fit within your assigned area.
-
A small number of permanent wall sections may be available for an additional $50 per month.
These spaces are limited and offered based on availability, the needs of each artist, and how the studio is functioning as a whole. Members are also welcome to use designated community wall areas when available.
-
Members have flexible access.
Certain areas may occasionally be reserved for workshops, photo sessions, maintenance, or Make Well programming, but we will do our best to communicate those dates in advance.
-
Is the photo studio included?
Yes, but access depends on your membership type.
Creator Memberships + Punch Passes
Photo studio access is included on a shared-use basis whenever the space is available. You’re welcome to use available photo areas for personal projects, content creation, or casual shoots, but the space is not reserved exclusively for you and other members may be working nearby.Creator Members and Punch Pass holders also receive 20% off private studio reservations.
Photographer Memberships
Photographer Members receive:Up to 8 hours of private Full Studio reservations per month
Shared-use access to available photo areas outside of reserved hours
Permission to bring clients into the studio during shared-use access
20% off additional private studio reservations
Shared-use access is first-come, first-served and does not guarantee a specific room, backdrop, furniture setup, or exclusive shooting area. Existing private reservations, events, and studio programming always take priority.
If you need the studio cleared and reserved exclusively for your shoot, please use your included private reservation hours or book additional private time.
-
We love seeing members bring ideas to life, though. Members who are interested in hosting something can submit a separate proposal through our workshop or space rental process.
-
Occasional guests may be welcome, but membership access is primarily intended for the individual member.
Please check with the Make Well team before bringing someone who will be working in the studio with you for an extended period.
-
Make Well is a great fit for artists who enjoy working in a shared environment, are thoughtful about communal spaces, and want a mix of independence and connection.
Before joining, we invite you to tour the studio and chat about your creative practice, storage needs, typical projects, and how you hope to use the space.
