Frequently asked questions

Free and open access
Access is free and open to everyone, both for the shop and for the artists' workshops. Take the time to explore the spaces and move at your own pace.
Dogs allowed
Dogs are welcome. Treats for your pup and a water bowl are available on-site. You are the best judge of your furry companion's tail-wagging; therefore, we rely on your vigilance to prevent any damage and on your cooperation if some people in the shop are uncomfortable with dogs.
Drinking water
A water fountain with a refill station for water bottles is available on site.
Bathroom
An accessible bathroom is available on-site.
Wheelchair access
Our building is wheelchair accessible via the ramp to the 2nd floor (shop) and through the central door of the artist studios on the ground floor, which will be unlocked upon request. Our restrooms are also wheelchair accessible, and the shop is spacious and clear enough for easy movement. Only the mezzanine is not wheelchair accessible. We would have liked to install an elevator there, but current regulations unfortunately did not allow us to do so. However, we would be happy to show you the ambiance of the mezzanine in a video if you wish.
