Akin Sterling

Akin Sterling, at 181 Sterling Road, is a 1775 sqft studio on the second floor of a residential building, with large, south facing windows and twelve semi-private studios ranging from 25 sqft ($195/month) to 90 sqft ($489/month).There is a kitchenette, a communal area, indoor bike parking, and two gender-neutral bathrooms, one of which is a universal washroom. Akin Sterling won't be able to accommodate shared memberships. Paid street parking is available on Sterling Road. 

Thanks to our partnership with Marlin Spring Developments, Akin Sterling has an unprecedented 20 year lease. This is an exciting step for Akin’s longevity and for the sustainability of the arts community in Toronto. 

Sterling road is near Bloor Street, Roncesvalles, Dundas West, and Lansdowne Ave. Sterling Road also runs along the West Toronto Railpath, providing a fun, traffic-free route for walking and biking to the studio. 

Since this studio is within a residential building, it comes with some unique stipulations when compared to other Akin locations. Akin Sterling is open from 8am-8pm only, and does not allow pets. Akin Sterling will unfortunately not be able to accommodate ceramics.

All memberships include 24/7 access (with the exception of Akin Sterling which is open 8am-8pm), wifi, utilities, insurance, shared storage facilities, restroom and kitchen access, communal workspaces and common area cleaning. Prices include HST.

Please note that studio tours are only available when scheduled in advance. Please contact info@akincollective.com to inquire about studio availability or check our Currently Available page!
