When answering these questions, please also confirm that you understand that this is NOT the event space for your frat, for drunken escapades, and drinking games where you spill alcohol all over the floor.

PROHIBITED ITEMS
Unless otherwise stated, the following are prohibited in our entire studio space (and most likely also in the common areas outside of our unit as well). Kindly read this list carefully, to avoid incurring various clean up or restoration fees.

If you have ANY questions or concerns about whether something is OK or not, kindly call Management to verify. If Management cannot answer your call, it’s best to assume that the answer is “no" until Management states otherwise. Falsely assuming the answer is yes, may lead you to incurring unwanted fees.

For your safety, and the security of the studio, please:
Keep the studio door closed, at all times.
Lock up any Equipment and lighting gear back up after you are finished your rental, unless otherwise specified in writing by Management.
Do not allow any strangers inside the studio without requesting identification from them. If they claim to be the next renter, have them open the door with their own pin code. If they cannot open the door on their own, they are not allowed in.
Ensure that the studio door is fully closed before you leave. It automatically locks once it is fully closed. (Renter is exclusively liable for full damages incurred as a result of infraction)
No going in any upstairs area of the studio without Management’s prior written permission.

To keep our air quality high, especially for those with compromised breathing and for as long as COVID-19 is an issue, we ask you to observe the following.

No haze nor fog machines of any kind. ($500.00 CAD fee for infraction)
No smoke bombs, especially none with pigments. ($10,000.00 CAD fee for infraction)
No smoking nor vaping of any kind. ($500.00 CAD fee for infraction)
No drugs or drug use of any kind. ($500.00 CAD fee for infraction)

To keep our curtains, furniture, walls, and floors clean, we ask that you avoid the following, as they are a concern for stains and/or are extremely difficult to clean. Fees for infractions vary depending on the level of damage caused.

No dies in any form, including but not limited to powders or liquids
No body/baby/glamour/sprayable oils
No body shimmers
No glitters

If trash bin is overflowing, kindly remove bag when you leave. The dumpster is in the alleyway.

Daniel is a gem to work with. He puts the artist and the art being created in his space first. His response time was impeccable and made sure to be there for any day of issues. I highly recommend this space and I will gladly return again soon. Thank's Daniel for creating such a respectful, unique and professional environment.
