Akin Davisville is here!
Located at 224 Merton St, between Yonge Street and Mt Pleasant Rd, Akin Davisville is an entire building consisting of three floors which can accommodate seventy two Shared and Dedicated studio members.
If you’re interested in membership please email info@akincollective.com and let us know what you are looking for. We can’t wait for you to see this fabulous space!
Akin Davisville is just north of Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Beltline Trail. It’s located near Davisville Subway Station.
There are Shared Memberships available for $78/month, which includes access to shared working areas. There are 46 Dedicated Memberships in the building (i.e. your own studio), including private and semi-private options ranging from 25 square feet at $187/month to 135 square feet at $610/month. Both membership types include HST, 24/7 access, cleaning, WiFi, contents insurance, as well as use of shared shelving units, washrooms, a kitchen and communal area.
Akin Davisville is an entire building with studios in the basement, main and second floors. There are no steps to enter the building, and an elevator in the main entranceway which travels to each floor. There are two gender neutral bathrooms on each floor, one of which is wider to accommodate wheelchair access. None of the bathrooms have steps leading towards or into them. There is no free onsite parking for this building, but there is paid parking on the street right outside the building.
Priority for studio memberships will be given to folks who have been on an Akin studio waitlist for 6 months or more, as well as those who identify as a member of one or more of the Toronto Arts Council’s Equity Priority Groups (Persons of Colour, Deaf Persons, Persons with Disabilities and Persons Living with Mental Illness, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQIAP). That being said, there is plenty of space in this new studio and we will do our best to provide studio space to everyone who is interested.
We are also in the process of trying to secure other new studio locations to accommodate folks in need of studio space. Hopefully more on that to come soon.
Akin Davisville. 224 Merton St, Toronto, ON, M4S 1A1
