Dear Friends and Artists,
Earlier this summer Studio Soto received word that our building at 10 Channel Center Street was being sold and that we would be asked to vacate the premises. After some uncertainty over how long we might be able to actually remain, we were told to leave by the end of August and that is what has happened of late.
I want to thank everyone for making the past two years so very memorable. We had some wonderful events there because of you. They are too numerable to mention here. What I do know is that, even at a step removed from the alternative arts mainstream, Studio Soto continued in its own relevance, with a particular interest in programming time-based arts and time-based artists working in multiple disciplines. Over the years, we have cleared a wide, distinct path for sound artists, movement artists, film and video makers, performance artists and all media in between with our work. For now, Studio Soto will be on hiatus but will be involved in producing at other venues as well as special projects that you will hear about as they emerge. Here on facebook, I will post important news about artists who have worked at Studio Soto, when possible.
My thanks again goes out to all of our artists and supporters. I'd also like to thank Marc Miller and his colleagues at Fort Point Theatre Channel for our successful partnering and sharing of the space these past two years.
If you are interested in the continuation of our programs and would like to support us, please go to the Community Room at Eastern Bank and select Fort Point Arts Community.

You can make a contribution there and designate it for Studio Soto. We are a project of the Fort Point Arts Community, who serves as our fiscal agent.
Best wishes,
Jed Speare, Director
