ACCESSIBILITY

 

Please note that RAW made every effort to secure a wheelchair accessible space, but viable spaces were extremely limited to us due the outstanding building noise-allowance requirements of our taiko activities.

  • Studio RAW is located on the top/second floor of a low-rise building, and unfortunately, it is not wheelchair accessible. To access the studio, visitors must walk up one flight of stairs (20 steps) with railing. The stairwell is 45” wide. 

  • Studio RAW is a low-scent space and RAW regularly uses unscented cleaning products.

  • Street parking is available for free on the North and South sides of Dupont St (except for 7am-9am & 4pm-6pm, Mon-Fri). The Galleria Mall Parking lot offers free parking (anytime). 

BOOKING & PAYMENT

  • Bookings must be a minimum of two (2) hours

  • The rental rate is $50/hour

  • A sliding scale rate of $30-$50/hour is available for Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous & People of Colour communities (to be determined in consultation with prospective renters)
