We’ve all heard the term “starving artist,” often used to imply that most artists find it difficult to make money from their craft. While this can be true in some cases, we’ve found that some of our successful artist friends have found success by being ingenious. How so? Well, besides working at nearly any job they can get to support their craft, as most artists do, there are some who use the world and all it has to offer to their benefit. They aren’t satisfied being categorized as a “starving artist,” so they find ways to save money where they can. One way to do this is to rent a storage unit. Here are some of the ways renting self-storage in Montrose can help you afford to follow your passion: Using a Storage Unit as a Studio At first glance, using a storage unit as an art studio may not seem like an idea that would really work. But let us assure you—it really does! A self-storage unit is a great place to get the solitude you need to be able to express yourself fully. Most of the time, you’ll find the storage area to be nice and quiet which is often ideal for artistic expression to blossom. And, if one of your storage neighbors happens to be there, this might be an opportunity for inspiration. Whether it’s the person themselves, or you happen to catch a glimpse of what they’re storing, inspiration is all around. A word to the wise—if you’re a painter, make sure to work only while the storage door is open. Proper ventilation is a must! Storing Your Crafting Supplies Self-storage in Montrose is perfect for artists. Having a storage unit allows you to keep all of your art supplies in one location and use the facility as an art studio. That definitely works in your favor when trying to save money. Why spend your hard earned money on a studio location and storage unit? It definitely makes sense to get more bang for your buck! A Modern Art Gallery Yes, it’s true. You can even use a self-storage unit as a makeshift art gallery. Give your display a modern edge by having a small and intimate opening here. It’s amazing what an artistic mind can do with such a space. Whatever your artistic passion is—sewing, designing, painting, sculpting, or drawing—self-storage in Montrose can help you pursue your passion while saving money.
