Leading live/work developer Artspace has received a grant of $1m from the Ford Foundation to expand its work in creating affordable space for artists. The Minneapolis-based organization already has more than 800 live/work units across the country (link to feature), home to sculptors, print makers, filmmakers, musicians and dancers. The grant will be used to underwrite the pre-development costs of projects that ‘advance cultural diversity and community engagement' by creating or preserving space for artists.
