What can the cultural sector do to benefit the long term economic picture of our community? Is there a way to bring space to artists and new life and capital to existing space? While the recession is on its way out, the construction boom that came before it left us with an overabundance of space. How are the development and business sectors coming together with individual artists and arts organizations to get creative and make lemonade? Are we creating the foundation for long term, mutually beneficial partnerships? Bring your own questions and ideas and join us!
