While MCC’s ArtistLink Initiative is being re-worked, creative space opportunities that previously would have been listed on artspacefinder.org are going to be shared here on ArtSake.
Here is the most recent as of January 30, 2015:
Open House for Artist Live/Work Lofts in Lynn
Downtown Lynn Cultural District will host Insider’s Tours of the newest residences in downtown Lynn. These residences are particularly exciting for the cultural district because they were designed with artists in mind as Artist Live/Work lofts.
33 Central features 8 one bedroom artist live/work spaces in the heart of Lynn’s cultural district. Formerly Arnold’s Stationary, the property at 33 Central was left vacant until the Economic Development and Industrial Corporation of Lynn and Lynn’s Neighborhood Development Associates stepped in and purchased the building in 2012.The addition of 8 residences – with artists needs in mind – is part of a larger strategy of increasing the creative activity in downtown Lynn. The District is already home to Raw Art Work, the Lynn Museum, Arts After Hours, Extras for Creative Reuse, Visionspace Gallery@Centerboard and LynnArts. In 2012, the Mass Cultural Council designated Lynn’s Central Square as one of the first five cultural districts in the Commonwealth.
The building is set to be completed in the spring of 2015, but next Friday (February 6th) the public is invited to take a tour of the building as renovations are being made and attend a Q&A session following the tour. Tours will be conducted at 6pm, 6:30pm and 7pm. Space is limited so those interested are asked to RSVP: https://33central.eventbrite.com
