Space Rentals at VIVO Media Arts Centre

VIVO Media Arts Centre supports media artists in our community by providing space rentals for production shoots, documentation, rehearsals, podcast recording, or any other production based activity that is not a presentation of a work open to the public.

Our space rentals are not available for public-facing events.

‍Space rentals are offered in a tiered rate structure for members. Our aim is to ensure that artists and activists have access to VIVO’s equipment and facilities at the fairest rates possible. We have two rental tiers: Basic Producer Member and Extended Producer Member. For more information on membership see our membership page.

Production rentals occur during office hours, 11am-6pm Tuesday to Friday. Rentals outside of these hours are subject to additional costs.

Bookings must be finalized two weeks in advance and are subject to availability. Access to equipment and technical support is available and subject to additional charges. Please Contact us for a quote and to enquire about availability.
