We have some exciting news for the downtown Kitchener arts community! Our “Meanwhile Space” project at 99 King Street West has been officially extended. We are now inviting artists to join this unique shared studio residency through August 30th, 2026.
If you’ve been looking for a bright, professional, and central place to anchor your practice this summer, now is the time to apply.
The Vision: A Suite Built for Creativity
In partnership with Lowland Properties Group, we’ve taken a dynamic vacant suite on the third floor of 99 King and transformed it into a collaborative haven for visual artists.
This isn’t just a room; it’s a dedicated environment designed to help you connect with other local creators while maintaining your own focused workspace.
Space Details at a Glance
-
The Footprint: Each artist is allotted a 14’ x 14’ workspace.
-
The Vibe: Classic urban loft with plenty of natural light, high ceilings, and downtown energy.
-
Amenities: The suite is equipped with a dedicated paint sink, full heating and air conditioning, and gender-neutral washrooms.
-
Access: Work on your own schedule with secure 24/7 FOB access.
-
The Walk-up: Please note, this beautiful third-floor space is accessed via 44 stairs (no elevator), perfect for those who don’t mind a bit of a daily climb!
Affordable & Accessible
We know that price is a major barrier for many artists. To keep this space accessible, the cost is just $330.00 per month (all-inclusive).
Claim One of the Final 3 Spots
We currently have 3 out of 5 spots available for artists practicing visual arts, media arts, or other “quiet” creative disciplines.
Because this is a meanwhile space residency, these spots are available specifically through August 30th, 2026. Whether you have a specific project you need to wrap up or you’re looking to kickstart a new body of work this summer, 99 King is ready for you.
