Dark & Stormy Explores Sex and intimacy in "Sunshine"

Dec 17, 2015

“It is surprisingly funny,” says Dark & Stormy’s Sara Marsh, who plays the title character in Sunshine. “I really loved the script, and the role is great. It is a real challenge for me. I really love all of the characters, and it has an ambiguous ending, which I like. It’s something you will think about afterward. It’s not what you would think based on the description.”

Is affordable artist live/work housing the new normal?

Dec 15, 2015

In cities across the U.S., one of the most potent forces for urban renewal is the intrepid, resourceful, indefatigable artist. A building full of them, in fact. But for the artists, there isn’t always a happy ending. In case you’re unfamiliar with the story, it goes like this. In search of inexpensive spaces in which work, artists seek out underutilized buildings—often, old warehouses or other industrial structures in sketchy neighborhoods—with low rents, zero amenities, and lots of room to make messes and masterpieces.

The Art of Creative Placemaking

Jan 1, 2014

When Artspace was founded in 1979, our role was to help artists find affordable places to live and work, which was largely achievable as long as artists were willing to move every six to 12 months. But we believed that artists sacrifice a tremendous amount in order to create their work, and that the work they create adds value and meaning to our lives. We believed that artists deserve better than living under constant threat of eviction, and that the only way we could provide greater stability was to create and own affordable housing specifically dedicated for artists.
