What are your creative space needs? We need to hear from you!

Arts & Culture have been at the forefront of Tacoma, Washington’s revitalization.  As we move into our next phase of development, we want to insure that artists and creatives maintain an active role in our neighborhoods and community.

Are you an artist or engaged in creative pursuits?
Do you lead an arts or cultural organization or creative business?
Do you need affordable space to live, work, create, rehearse, perform, or conduct business?

If so, we want to hear from you! If you haven’t already done so, please take our comprehensive online artist market survey that will help the City and local developers understand the needs of the creative community and how Tacoma can meet those needs.

Our goal is to maintain and develop new affordable space for living, working and creating in Tacoma. Data from the survey will show the need, build support, help secure funding, and assist developers and creative space providers like Spaceworks Tacoma to help them make decisions that best benefit creative use within existing and future developments. Your input and a large response is critical to the project’s success – help us spread the word!

Take the survey at CREATIVESPACETACOMA.ORG by February 9, 2015. We’ll even send you a piece of original letterpress art created by Jessica Spring, while supplies last!

This survey is a partnership between the City of Tacoma, The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, and Artspace with generous support from JPMorgan Chase. The survey is being conducted by Artspace, the nations’ leading non-profit developer of affordable artists’ live/work spaces.  Artspace has been hailed by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation and others as an inspiration for the emergent creative placemaking movement. For more than 30 years, Artspace has brought its expertise to more than 200 cultural facility planning efforts from coast to coast.
