Our Story

Cox Street CoWork began with a single artist’s request for studio space in a former HVAC office and shop. What started as a few additional studios quickly grew into The Art Factory — a creative hub primarily for fine artists. Over time, the building developed a distinctive, funky patina that has proven surprisingly inspiring across many disciplines. In 2024, we undertook a complete transformation: a full refresh, rebranding, and expansion of our vision. While we continue to honor the character and history of the space, we now welcome professionals of all kinds — not just artists — who need a dedicated, inspiring workspace away from home.

Our Vision

At Cox Street CoWork, we believe in the power of beauty, creativity, and excellence. We provide more than just physical space — we offer a place where individuals can pursue meaningful work that enhances our community and enriches its culture. Whether you’re meeting with clients, developing your craft, building your business, or solving complex problems, we want you to feel proud to call Cox Street CoWork your professional home.

If you’re looking for a workspace you’ll genuinely love — one that supports your success and reflects your professionalism — we invite you to apply. We’d be honored to welcome you to Cox Street CoWork.
