ArtSpace Workshop on Affordable Live/Work Housing

ArtSpace-Cleveland is presenting an Artist Workshop on Affordable Live/Work Housing for Ownership on Friday November 9th (1:00 – 5:00 pm) and Saturday, November 10th (9:00 am – 1:00 pm.) at the Gould Loft, 1400 East 30th Street. Cost: $25

Laura Weathered, executive director of the Near NorthWest Arts Council (NNWAC), an artist-directed non-profit organization in Chicago, will lead the workshop. Under her direction, the NNWAC initiated the $3.2m development of the Acme Artists Community permanent affordable work/live space. It is Chicago’s first artist housing designed, developed and owned by professional artists, offering a significant hedge against gentrification. The project demonstrates affordable housing from a consumer’s perspective offering artists substantial input on design and development.

ArtSpace-Cleveland is working in partnership with: The Greater Cleveland Partnership, St. Clair Superior Development Corporation, Dominion, the Cuyahoga Community Land Trust, COSE for the Arts and Community Partnership for Arts and Culture. Sponsors include the city of Cleveland, Forest City Enterprises and the Ohio Arts Council.
