Studio location?




Does anyone have any advice about the location of one's studio/home as far as a city location vs a countryside location?

In other words, is it possible to lose potential clients if you live too far from a busy area (an hour outside of a major city)? Or would living in a busier, more "cultured" part of town actually bring an artist more business?

What other factors regarding the studio location actually help or hinder an artist's exposure/growth, or does is it matter? Is "image" important? I would think that "good taste" goes along with good art, although I don't believe one has to live in an upscale neighborhood to portray a certain level of artistic proficiency. What do you all think!?

Sometimes my husband and I dream about a home in the country with a barn/studio, but wonder if clients would mind driving an hour to visit us. Another question is, do those of you who work full-time and have nice, big studios, do your clients walk through your home to get to your studio or do you have a separate entrance? Is this important to your business success?

Thanks for any imput on this subject!
