Access & Safety
Artists will have after hours access to the building via a key code, allowing them to come and go as needed when the Creativity Center is not open to the public. There is a camera set up to monitor the entryways and the gallery/gift shop areas.
Some usage of volatile or potentially hazardous materials may be prohibited; please check at the time of application if your art materials will be acceptable. The Cheyenne Creativity Center is not equipped with a kiln or clay disposal at this time, and any applicant applying with this usage in mind should have an off-site plan for these materials.
Studio rental spaces are intented for the creation of artwork only and not for client meetings or direct sales. There will be opportunities to show and sell work as a part of the Cheyenne Creativity Center, which will be discussed during the initial meeting.
Arts Cheyenne and the Cheyenne Creativity Center is an open and accepting environment that promotes the health, safety, and wellbeing of all artists and creatives we work with. Discrimination, harassment, and other inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstance, and those in violation will be asked to leave immediately.

The Cheyenne Creativity Center has several pieces of shared equipment available for use for studio tenants. Following application approval and a signed agreement, each tenant will undergo a short training for how to use the equipment, including safety measures and usage guidelines.
