The City of Hamilton, on the northern edge of the Cincinnati metro area, began using the arts for civic improvement in the 1990s. In partnership with artists, politicians, and neighborhood and philanthropic leaders, Artspace restored a historic building downtown into a mixed-use arts facility. The project rehabilitated two internally connected, historic buildings: a 1900 French Renaissance masterpiece originally known as the Mehrum Building, and the 1913 Lindley Block. In addition to 42 units of affordable live/work space for artists and their families, the project provides ground floor commercial space for creative businesses, gallery space, and an outdoor seating patio.
