Free Dinner and Focus Group for artist live/work spaces
October 15th, 5:30 - 7:00 at Gladden Community House,
183 Hawkes Ave.
please RSVP to storsell@enterprisecommunity.org

The Franklinton Arts District is conducting a focus group to gather information about the needs and desires for artist live/work spaces.

There is great redevelopment potential for East Franklinton, and we hope to develop it in a way that benefits artists of low to moderate incomes by working with the local Community Development Corporation.

At FAD we'd like to see a new arts community spring up that offers not only the amenities that artists are looking for but also the opportunity for them to actually own their property. The positive impacts on Franklinton and the entire Columbus arts community could be immense. It is a certainly a lofty goal but we feel as if we are well positioned now to help make it happen. Of course the banks and the city will need to be convinced that the idea is sound and that the opportunity is real. If we build it, will they come? This is what we need to learn, and why we need your participation.

Please come out and have your ideas heard. A high turnout is necessary to send the message that this can work. It should be fun, and we are providing dinner for showing up!
