The Orange Hub

Since 2019, FAVA has called The Orange Hub home. The Orange Hub is a great location for artists and arts organizations and has accessibility entrances, security, and collection points for artists. Our production office is located in Room 149, on the bottom floor of the building.

You don’t have to be a member. Everyone is welcome at FAVA! For prices, non-members will be charged the standard rates. Members receive artist rates for our Studios.

Conveniently located near local restaurants, nearby bus stations, and a future LRT line, The Orange Hub is a great place for all artists in our community.
