There’s something different happening at The Cigar Factory Artist Studios—and you feel it as soon as you walk in.
Located at 4th & Tilghman in Allentown, this former industrial building has been thoughtfully brought back to life as a working home for artists. What used to be a center of production is now a place where painters, photographers, designers, and makers of all kinds come to focus, experiment, and grow their practice.
Space That Actually Works for You
Every detail here is simple, but intentional:
· High 14-foot ceilings and large windows that bring in consistent natural light
· Private studios ranging from 180 to 660 square feet
· 24/7 access, because creative work rarely happens on a schedule
· A shared gallery space for showing work and connecting with others
· Utilities included, so there are no surprises month to month
Studios start at $350/month, making it one of the more accessible ways to have a dedicated, professional space of your own.
Well Placed, Without the Noise
The building sits just north of downtown, close enough to stay connected but removed enough to actually get work done.
Within about a mile, you’ve got easy access to Allentown’s core:
· The Allentown Art Museum
· PPL Center and its steady calendar of events
· Hamilton Street’s mix of shops, services, and everyday essentials
Everyday Convenience, Right Nearby
One of the underrated advantages of this location is how easy it is to take care of daily needs without breaking your flow.
Groceries & Essentials
· Super Foodtown of Allentown (about 0.6 miles)
· Wegmans (about 0.9 miles)
Banking
· Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley (roughly 0.7 miles)
· Chase Bank (about 0.8 miles)
Retail & Services

Entertainment

A Community That Feels Real
What makes this place stick for people isn’t just the space—it’s the atmosphere. There’s a steady mix of emerging and experienced artists working side by side, sharing ideas, and quietly pushing each other to do better work.
Nearby schools like Muhlenberg College and Cedar Crest College help keep that energy moving, bringing new artists into the area every year.
Why People Choose to Stay
Having a dedicated studio changes how you work. It creates separation from home, gives your practice room to grow, and makes it easier to stay consistent.
That’s really what The Cigar Factory offers:
a space that supports your routine, your focus, and your long-term progress as an artist.
