The Arts Collective 3rd Ward Thrives in Bushwick, Brooklyn – NYTimes.com.
Interesting article. More spaces are becoming popular in collaborative arts culture. It’s almost an Andy Warhol Factory Room, but for people who have to pay a fee to join with the ability to have access to multiple mediums in art. Printing, woodworking, weaving, jewelry design, welding, screen printing, and maybe most intriguing, a bartender who powers his blender by pedaling bicycle. They were profitable even in a bad economy. I guess freelancing creative industry needs a time to thrive through collective big spaces. Talk about your connections!
Now, do any of you know of similar spaces who are making the million dollar marks in profits on the West Coast?

Attendance of 5,000! I don’t think so, but never-the-less it was fun. We were expecting to only get a half of a table and ended up with a full one. Yay! We were also told it was non vending….people did it anyway. Had I known we would have brought A LOT more stuff. You live you learn and in the process we still managed to get people interested. So here is to our first “exhibit” and some pictures of the other “exhibitors.”
Enjoy!
