About Artspace
Artspace is America’s leader in arts-driven
community transformation. With headquarters in Minneapolis and offices in
Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, and Washington DC, Artspace runs a
network of 33 affordable arts facilities in 13 states. Representing a
$500 million investment in America's arts infrastructure, our facilities
provide more than 1,100 affordable live/work units for artists and their
families as well as a million square feet of non-residential space for artists,
arts organizations, and creative enterprises.
Established in 1979 to serve as an advocate for
artists’ space needs, Artspace effectively fulfilled that mission for nearly a
decade. By the late 1980s, however, it was clear that the problem required a
more proactive approach, and Artspace made the leap from advocate to developer.
Since then, the scope of Artspace's activities has grown dramatically. Artspace
is now a national leader in the field of developing affordable space that meets
the needs of artists through the adaptive reuse of historic buildings and new
construction. For more information about
Artspace and its projects, visit http://www.artspace.org/.
The Village of Patchogue began a renaissance in the
1990s when artists and creative businesses leased many of the vacant Main
Street storefronts and the beautiful Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts
was renovated. Housing for artists was a missing piece of this renaissance, so
in 2006 Patchogue engaged Artspace to conduct development work that led to the
Artspace Patchogue Lofts, a new mixed-use project in the heart of downtown.
Completed in 2011, Artspace Patchogue Lofts includes
45 units of affordable live/work housing for artists and their families plus
nearly 2,500 square feet of space on the street level currently leased to two
nonprofit arts organizations, the Patchogue Arts Council and the Plaza Cinema
and Media Arts Center.
Civic leaders view Terry Street as a bridge between
the commercial district along Main Street and the growing community of
market-rate and affordable multi-family housing nearby. For Patchogue, the
Artspace project represents both economic development and the opportunity to
strengthen a growing arts community.
Thanks to a MetLife Foundation grant,
Artspace was able to add solar panels to the building’s roof. Over time, these
panels should significantly lower the project’s operating costs.
