After going on a hardhat tour of Artspace Wash DC, a 41 unit live-work space which is under construction near Dance Place, that's the one word that pretty much sums it all up. Also, the several tours that were offered were filled up and had a wait list by the beginning of this week.Tall ceilings, soundproofing between floors and rooms, parking garage, and a studio on the 1st floor...who could ask for anything more?
And it was great running into some familiar faces, among which was another artist friend, William. With a wife and kid, he expressed that this would be the perfect environment for him and his partner to really be able to get back to their art as well as take care of their family.
Talking to another acquaintance, she mentioned that it might feel a bit like a college dorm, to which I offered that at least this time, we'd all have a better idea of what we want to do with our lives, and what it takes to do it, which is where housing options like this come into play.*crossing my fingers* to get in, but also hoping that everyone who is interested and eligible applies. I feel like great things are going to happen in this building and I could only hope to be a part of that whether I actually live there or not.
