Policies and Details:

1) As of August 1, 2018, the rental fee for performances is $45 per hour for the first 4 hours, plus $27.50 per hour for each additional hour (prorated to the quarter hour) from arrival to departure.

2) A non-refundable deposit of $45 is required at the time of rental to confirm and hold the rented time. After reserving a date, please send a check, made payable to Susan Robbins, to: Susan Robbins, Third Life Studio, 33 Union Square, Somerville, MA 02143

3) Promotion of the event is shared, with the primary responsibility of pulling in an audience resting with the artists. Third LIfe Studio will post events on this website, send promotional emailings to the extensive Studio email list, post events on the wide-reaching Somerville Arts Council Listserve, and post on the Studio's facebook page. If provided, a poster will be hung on the streetside bulletin board. Artists are encouraged to promote to their own audience base, poster, as well to send press releases to local press and online sites.

It is the artists' responsibility to provide Third Life Studio with:

   a) promotional flyer for posting on the Studio streetside bulletin board.

   b) other promotional information: concert details (time, admission price),

       names of performers, a descriptive paragraph of their music and a website

       link if it exists.

4) The legal capacity of the room is 49 (combined artists & audience). The artists determine their own admission price; beyond the agreed upon rental fee, the proceeds from the door go directly to the artists. All money from CD or product sales goes directly to the artist.

5) The Studio has a beautiful Steinway baby grand. If it is needed for performance, the cost for a tuning with the Studio's tuner ($140) is the artist's responsibility.

6) Currently, the Studio does not have its own PA system. Much music happens acoustically in this space. However, if a PA is required, the artist is welcome to bring their own, set it up and provide someone to run the board.
