Emeryville Artists Co-op: Available Studio Final Tour (in-person)

Founded in 1973, the 45th Street Artists’ Cooperative (Emeryville Artists’ Cooperative) is the City of
Emeryville’s first established arts organization. Visual artists, musicians, choreographers, writers, designers
and fine craftsmen, many of national and international stature, constitute their membership.

Over the past four decades, the Cooperative has grown from a dozen studios in one converted warehouse building
to nearly 60 studios in three buildings. Today, as a non-profit, limited-equity housing cooperative, it is a
national model for affordable artist-owned housing.

While the concept pre-dates the introduction of cohousing in the US, it does have some similarities - homes (live-work spaces) for sale, shared space, resident leadership, and more. There aren't (as far as we know) regular common meals or a common house, but some residents do some things together.

The City of Emeryville moderate-income limits apply to be eligible to buy a home: $136,750 for a 1-person household, $156,300 for two, and $175,800 for three.

The studio currently for sale is in the Horton & Holden Annex part of the community.

Ground Floor: HH Annex studio has its own street-facing entrance at 4335 Holden St.
You enter the studio on the ground floor into an entryway space, which can be used as
an additional living room or workspace. The entry leads to a hallway with entrances to
a utility closet, a bathroom (small walk-in shower, toilet, and sink), and a sliding barn
door that leads to stairs to the lofted bedroom. The hallway leads to the studio’s open
floor plan living room, dining room, and kitchen. The concrete floor is complete with
radiant heating. Next to the kitchen is a separate set of stairs to a small workspace loft.
In the back of the kitchen, there is a door that leads to the interior of the H&H studio
building. Second-Story Bedroom: A sliding barn door leads to a set of stairs up to
the bedroom. This thoughtfully-built space has an open floor plan, with the bedroom
separated by a pony wall from the bathroom, bathtub, and toilet. There is a set of
French doors that open to Holden Street onto a small plant-sized balcony. Lofted
Office: From the kitchen, a set of stairs leads to a loft space that overlooks the main
ground-floor area and can be used as an office or for additional storage.
