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 restoring this historic building.
Spaces are available from 8am to 8pm Monday through Sunday on an hourly, weekly or monthly basis. There is a minimum booking time of 2 hours for all spaces.
