The 89 studios collectively form a single condominium unit.  In order to satisfy certain financing requirements, the studios will be rental for the first five years.  Following the five-year rental period, this condominium unit may convert from rental to a limited equity cooperative and the resident artists in good standing may have the opportunity to purchase their studios.

To live at Midway Studios, each artist must have a BRA Artist Certificate.  Click here for information about artist certification.

Applications are being accepted for the 53 unrestricted studios.  Click here for application information.
