The Creative Use of Space
Submitted by saraneppl on Wed, 04/14/2010 - 10:39am
As our program "Vacancy to Vibrancy: The Creative Use of Space" nears, we thought we'd share some programs that are already doing work on this topic.
No Longer Empty is an organization in New York City. "The non-profit organization was conceived as an artistic response to our present economic condition and to revitalize empty spaces and areas around the venues by bringing thoughtful, high-caliber art installations with accompanying programs to the public." Spaces for these exhibitions are donated rent-free by the landlords, and the art chosen is site-specific.
Ford Foundation has launched an initiative called Supporting Diverse Arts Spaces "to help artists and arts organizations develop vibrant cultural spaces even in times of economic hardship." This is a 10-year, $100 million initiative.
Spaceworks Tacoma's tagline is "creative use for vacant space". A collaboration between City of Tacoma, the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce and Shunpike, the organization focuses on empty storefronts in Downtown Tacoma.
Do you know of other organizations doing similar work? What are your ideas for empty space?
