Studio/Gallery Spaces
Mulberry Art Studios offers many studios for artists to rent and create in. The studios provide a creative synergetic atmosphere for artists in painting, collage, photography, pottery, jewelry, textiles, woodworking, sculpture, fiber, graphics, music, etc. All have enjoyed working and selling their art directly from their studios.
Are you a painter who prefers daylight? Are you a musician who needs 24hr access to rehearse or teach? We will do our best to accommodate.
Mulberry also welcomes entrepreneurs and startup business enterprises. We have been the address of choice for several local cultural arts foundations and advertising agencies, as well as the main office for several ministries.
Rent includes all utilities!
At Mulberry Art Studios, Six Gallery Spaces are available for artists to exhibit their work. You may rent a gallery space for a month, work with our publicist, and sell with no commission fee!

Welcome to Mulberry Art Studios!
“I started Mulberry Art Studios the last day of June in 1988. My vision was to bring Artists of all disciplines to participate together under one roof & to transform the city of Lancaster into an Art Mecca. Mulberry Art Studios was to be my prototype to encourage other cities across the country & around the world to transform their communities by renovating old historic buildings that were abandoned & forgotten into living art centers where visual artists, performing artists (dancers & theatrical performers), and musicians were encouraged and supported in their talents and to provide a professional atmosphere where they could rehearse, teach, perform, and meet with the general public. Mulberry Art Studios was to be a place where synergy would occur amongst all artistic disciplines. We as Artists create under even the most challenging circumstances & provide joy, inspiration, and entertainment. It is through positive Art expression that cities and communities can be transformed and uplifted. Art is an economic catalyst that can drive the revitalization of cities. We hope that you enjoy Mulberry Art Studios- A Creative Environment for your Professional & Personal Endeavors.” Call me for a tour and personally Experience the Magic of Mulberry.
