January 9, 2012, Monday - Arts Town Hall Meeting at Mill City Museum

Time: 7:00pm

Location: Mill City Museum, 704 Second Street South

An open call to the arts community:

On January 9, an Arts Town Hall Meeting will be held at the Mill City Museum. PLACE, a nonprofit that builds sustainable arts communities in the United States and the United Kingdom, has been engaged by developer Dominium to perform a comprehensive artist study to determine if there is interest in the creation of at least 350 new living and working spaces for artists. The two proposed sites, the historic Schmidt Brewery in Saint Paul and the historic Pillsbury A Mill in Minneapolis, will be preserved as affordable space for the arts including apartments, studios, galleries, rehearsal and performance space and other uses. Organizers want to hear from you about the need for space, how to use the large shared spaces and how to get their survey in as many artist “hands” as possible.
