Q:
Is the parking safe? What about at night?
A: FAF has private parking available to all members and visitors.
Our lot is well-lit at night, and has a security gate that is
activated after 5 pm. There is also secured underground parking
available to FAF members for $55/mo. A card/key will be issued
to any members choosing underground parking

Q: What do I need to bring to the studio?
A: Bring any supplies you would normally need to be able to paint
or draw. In addition, you are welcome to bring your own easel,
stool, or whatever else you are comfortable working with. For
added convenience, FAF has a limited number of easels, tables
and stools available for our members' use.

Q: How's the lighting?
A: Realizing that lighting is one of the single most important
elements of drawing and painting, FAF has made a major financial
investment to create a well-lit, color-corrected and balanced
lighting scheme in the open studio area. There is special track
lighting in the gallery area present artwork in the best possible
light.

Q:
What do I get on the FAF website as a member?
A: Members will be able to post your bio, artist statement, your
portrait, and three or four samples of your artwork! Any inquires
will be directed to your email address. You can then follow up
on any leads and coordinate any sales directly. You are encouraged
to direct people to your page on the FAF web site. This arrangement
is ideal for artist/members who may not already have an online
gallery presence.

Q. Do I need to set up every time
I come to FAF or can I leave my supplies out in the work area?
A. It is up to you. It most likely will depend how regularly you
paint at FAF. The more frequently you paint at FAF the more it
makes sense to leave your supplies set up at FAF.

Q. Do I need to bring my supplies
every time I come to FAF?
A. There are several options regarding leaving your supplies.
Because there is a FAF representative on site at all times, your
supplies are safe left at your work station. For more security,
however, there is a locked storage room. A third option is to
rent the custom-designed work station (see description) that has
its own lockable storage compartment.

month.

Q. Can I use FAF for my studio mailing
address and email address?
A. Yes.

Q. Can I use the FAF phone number
as my studio number?
A. At this time FAF encourages you to take advantage of your cell
phone. FAF is looking into the possibility of creating a message
service that assigns a personal extension number to each member.
However, a certain
percentage of members are interested in FAF being an oasis away
from phones, so we ask each member to use polite phone etiquette
by being considerate and keeping your phone conversations as private
as possible, either by stepping outside or away from working artists
when talking on the phone.

Q. Can
I bring my dog?
A. Sorry, FAF is not a safe place for pets, and they would be
a distraction to fellow members.

Q. Can
I listen to the music I want to listen to?
A. Yes. But the key is to NOT impose your preference of music
on fellow members if they are not agreeable to it. In fact, some
artists prefer not to have any music at all, so they can totally
concentration on the work at hand. (Some even prefer to listen
to Talk Radio...yikes!) The FAF solution is to encourage members
to listen to portable CD/AMFM Radio Players through headsets.
This allows everyone to listen to their favorite music at whatever
volume they choose. That way everyone is happy, which is music
to our ears.
