ArtBeat on Main Street Offers North County Artist Rental Space

ArtBeat on Main Street at 330 Main Street in the historic heart of downtown Vista offers a vibrant space within its 3,000-square-foot venue for artists to create, display and sell their artwork.  A changing array of fine art paintings, photography and sculpture plus hand-crafted boutique-style jewelry, apparel, home and garden décor and more attract a diverse clientele. Festive monthly receptions enlivened by music, spirits and food add to the exposure for artists.

ArtBeat co-founders Kris Petersen and Kait Matthews say, “We have prime spaces to rent, either singly or in partnership with other North County artists. Venues include wall space as well as an 11’X11’ art studio that can be used as a working studio plus exhibit space. Artists must be juried-in. We’re looking not only for exceptional artists, but also for a good fit with our co-op gallery.”

They note, “We want to be Vista’s creative new vibe. In addition to enhancing the area as it undergoes a dynamic transformation, our aim has been to help reenergize the local economy, support other local businesses and be part of the fabric of the community’s life. We welcome artists who wish to join us in this exciting endeavor.”
