In January 2013 nine artists (Theresa Clowes, Derrick Velasquez, Ian Fisher, Joel Swanson, Conor King, Beau Carey, Sarah Wallace Scott, Gretchen Marie Schaefer, and David Zimmer) formed and built what has now become TANK Studios in Denver, Colorado. TANK Studios aims to be a long-term sustainable and affordable studio space for high quality artists at all levels of a career. We understand that having a stronger community makes stronger artists and this community is conducive to making work that maximizes our potential. Our open studio floor plan promotes open dialog and critique—two critical elements in our art making practice.

Located in Denver, Colorado on South-South Broadway, TANK Studios situates itself in an eclectic neighborhood that includes antique shops, growhouses, bars, 7-Elevens, distilleries, and an ARC thrift store.

TANK Studios began with an open floor plan of 10 studios that range from 230-300 square feet. The second phase of the TANK Studios occurred six months after our first build-out adding an additional 3200 to our existing 3000 square foot space. This expansion was in large part funded by generous donors and supporters–to whom we are forever grateful. By design, our layout emphasizes our need and want to have a friendly and responsible community of artists.
