A Live/Work Space

A live/work space is a building in which each dwelling has extra space (typically 100 to 150 square feet) that the artist can use as a studio. Live/work units normally have consistent design elements, such as high ceilings, large windows, durable surfaces, and wide doorways. These spaces are designed to accommodate and foster a variety of creative processes. Live/work projects also include common spaces such as galleries, meeting rooms, and green spaces that encourage tenant engagement, cooperation, and community involvement.

The Creative Workforce

“When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.”

Steve Jobs

“Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. Innovation is the production or implementation of a creative idea. If you have ideas but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.”

Linda Naiman

ArtPost360 Steering Committee

A catalytic project to address live/work development opportunities for the creative workforce that will contribute to a strong, multicultural arts community and growing creative sector.
