Your Questions, Answered

  • ALLEYWAY is a studio salon in Bushwick built for independent artists. We believe that creativity thrives when people are given both freedom and support. Our goal is to provide a beautiful, functional workspace where artists can build businesses that reflect their own vision while being surrounded by a community of like-minded professionals.

    More than anything, ALLEYWAY is a place for people who care deeply about their craft, their clients, and the lives they are building around both.

  • While every artist at ALLEYWAY operates independently, we believe there is value in building something together.

    In addition to providing a fully equipped workspace, we offer resources, guidance, and education for artists looking to strengthen the business side of their careers. Whether it's pricing, branding, client retention, marketing, financial planning, or long-term business development, our goal is to help artists build sustainable careers—not just fill a chair.

    As ALLEYWAY continues to grow, we are also actively working toward offering group health insurance opportunities for our artists, creating additional support that is rarely available in traditional rental environments.

    You maintain ownership of your business while benefiting from a collaborative and supportive environment designed to help you succeed.

  • ALLEYWAY operates on an independent contractor model.

    Artists set their own schedules, pricing, services, and policies while maintaining full ownership of their clientele and business operations.

    We provide the space, amenities, shared resources, and community. You provide your talent, vision, and dedication to your craft.

    Our goal is to remove as many barriers as possible so you can focus on serving your clients and growing your business.

  • We'd love to hear from you.

  • Working at ALLEYWAY feels a lot like working alongside friends who genuinely care about what they do.

    We value professionalism, creativity, kindness, collaboration, and respect for shared spaces. Our artists are encouraged to maintain their independence while contributing to a positive and supportive environment for both clients and fellow artists.

    We celebrate each other's wins, share knowledge freely, and believe that there is room for everyone to succeed.

    At the end of the day, we're all building our own businesses—but we don't have to do it alone.

  • ALLEYWAY is best suited for independent artists who are actively building or maintaining clientele, value community, and are excited to contribute to a shared studio culture. We welcome individuals who care deeply about their craft, their clients, and the experience they create.
