SAC is looking for someone in the community who is interested in taking on the master lease and management of a potential art space. The space will need some build-out and need a management structure for leasing the individual spaces, but SAC is here to offer technical support in this effort if anyone is interested. The demand for art spaces is high, and we have a list of people who would be interested in these spaces. As the Council continues to support space creation, we are aware that beyond available space, a barrier will probably emerge in our community’s lack of operators. Who will step up to create and manage new spaces? If you have an interest in taking a leading role in the creation of more art space in Somerville, please fill out this interest form.
As we see more opportunities for art space, we will need to find community members who are up for the task in their own abilities to organize and lead. A majority of the studios in the city started because one person or a group of artists decided to make that happen. SAC is here to support that process through seeking opportunities and providing technical assistance, but we need the art leaders to emerge.
