Part of the tower, baggage... who knows I think it has a some merit and maybe after a little more work and publicity from the CT crew it could be an option. The load capabilities of our older buildings are real assets for artists and one of the reasons I think so many congregate here. The freedom, space and costs of quality space for artists is tough to come by. But there are a lot of places that Artspace II could go and add life. Larkin District, Downtown, More on Main.

They wouldn't even consider the idea. But, that was in the early days of reopening to the public. I wonder if our 5 year track record of arts events would change their minds?
