The InterAccess Studio
Our shared production studio at 32 Lisgar St. is a space for artists working with emergent and digital practices. The InterAccess Studio is the home base for our Studio Members, and the site of our Open Studio and Workshop programming. Equipped with electronic work spaces, tools for machining and fabrication, and a 5G Wifi Network, the Studio is a great place to learn new technical skills and produce work in a community that values critical approaches to art and technology.
InterAccess is home to many fabrication and machining tools and vintage electronics available for use or salvage.

To reduce financial barriers, a pay-what-you-can (PWYC) discount is available for any community members that self-identify as part of an equity-seeking group, which includes (but is not limited to) disabled, Black, Indigenous, students, and newcomers. This discount is also available to those earning less than a living wage. To request an Equity Access code, please email education@interaccess.org.
Material Fees
This fee is used to cover the direct costs of materials and supplies and can range depending on the nature of the workshop. This is applied to the actual material retail cost, shipping (if applicable), and staff preparation/assembly (if applicable).
