Press: Lofts and art space take shape, while going green

Purple flowers on the green roof at the Fay Street Lofts and The Warehouse Studios aren’t the only thing starting to bloom this spring over at the old Diggs building, formerly a meatpacking plant.

Columbia’s second warehouse art studio space is a project of founder Stephanie Lyons and local architect Brian Pape, and it will differ from the Orr Street Studios by offering live-in loft spaces, as well as open studio memberships, or access for artists to work space for a $99 a month membership fee. Warehouse Studios also will offer private studios similar to Orr Street Studios, Lyons said.
On the south side of the building - the commercial side that will hold retail space, classrooms, a gallery, private studios and open studio space - dividing walls have been built, drywall is going up, sprinklers are in and the oak staircase leading to the second floor is installed.
Press: Nice picture. Pape and his sedum roof.

Columbia has its first green roof. Stephanie Lyons and Brian Pape are remodeling the old Diggs Packing plant into artists’ studios and loft apartments. Atop the roof, sedum is growing.
Architect Pape has designed all the green elements he can come up with into the building, but surely the most intriguing is the live plants on the roof.
In Progress

Look at the progress they are making over at The Mule Barn. The building is more complete every time I drop by. I will try to start posting weekly photo updates. I don't usually have my camera with me when I visit the studios. This is a camera-phone photo, so I apologize for the low quality. This photo was taken while standing in the future Atrium. If you are interested in seeing progress of The Warehouse Studios in person, contact us for a tour.

Open Studio Promotion
Posted January 9th, 2008 by director
We need to gather a list of artists interested in committing to the Open Studio option as soon as we are open to the public. The Open Studio It is our cheapest art studio rental and I think it has the potential to be the most personally rewarding option. Think about sharing large open spaces with other local talented artists and visiting artists who may be teaching a workshop or are part of our artist in residence program. You, as an artist, have so much more to gain by being "out there" working in the open. Anyway, enough of my opinions...
Here's the deal: We are running a pre-lease promotion for Columbia, MO artists. If you sign up by March 31st for the $99/mo - Open Studio Membership, you get 50%* off your 1st months rent AND a free locker rental for life to keep your supplies on-site for as long as you continually** rent space at The Warehouse Studios. What a steal! Hurry, this offer won't last long! If you are ready to commit, post a response here in the forum. All I need is a basic comment like, "Hey, I'm interested..." or "Sign me up!" Feel free to keep your contact info out of the forum (for your privacy), your username will suffice (as long as you provided a legit email address when you registered your user name) for me to contact you.
