Flex Space Rental Options
Have a one time class, reoccurring classes or a big event? We have a space for you.
A great option for those looking to rehearse, host an event, have a celebration, perform virtually, or hold seasonal or temporary programming. One of the many space options in our building affords artists the ability to create and perform while on a budget. Flex rental space options are available hourly and month-to-month.
Special non-profit and school group pricing is available. All revenue helps to fund the mission of the JSAC and Ocean Grove Historic Preservation Society -- to support local artists, arts programming and arts-in-education activities along with caring for this historic building.
Spaces are cleaned before every use and available from 8am to 8pm Monday through Sunday on an hourly, weekly or monthly basis.
