Artspace is a nonprofit organization that creates, fosters and preserves sustainable space for artists and organizations. To do this, it constructs or restores places for artists to live and work while building healthy communities. Since it was founded in 1979, the organization has invested more than $650 million into the national infrastructure, with offices in Minneapolis, Denver, New Orleans, New York City, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
“This is the first time that I feel like we’re being appreciated for being artists,” Veronica said. “Being at Artspace makes me love New Orleans even more.”
“At Artspace, I expect to be around other creatives and see people creating all the time,” Journey said.
