As a nonprofit affordable housing developer for the creative sector, Artspace has a 40+-year history of being responsive to the needs of communities, often partnering with those that have traditionally been underrepresented—including Indigenous, low-wealth, and rural communities, and communities of color. Yet, during these unprecedented times, more is needed. In response to the deepening affordable housing crisis and the social, racial, and economic inequities made even more apparent by the pandemic, there is increased urgency to advance equity and opportunity at every level of our community development work. Toward that end, Artspace is building a $15 million Impact Fund to advance more opportunity, increase equity, and ensure sustainability in our work.
