The WĀV is officially here! Thousands attended the public dedication of the facility in April. It was something to see. An entire weekend of celebration featuring nearly a hundred artists from twenty-three countries presenting their work and telling their stories.
The first residents of PLACE's groundbreaking WAV (Working Artists Ventura) development (link to feature) are expected to move in this month (September) with full occupancy by the end of the year, according to PLACE executive director Chris Velasco.
Visionary live/work developer Chris Velasco is the president and executive director of Minneapolis-based PLACE, a non-profit organisation hired to create award-winning sustainable communities from inception to occupancy across the US
