If you happened to be near Hoyt Avenue this morning you probably saw pieces of the construction crane for the Artspace/Arts Council project coming down. But this isn’t something to be sad about, because construction is moving right along. So goodbye big red crane, thanks for the memories.
I'm not sure I could do this job...
On to the truck
Hope no one is inside!

After visiting Janet Myer’s Art in Great Spaces studio yesterday I was waiting to cross the street at the corner of Hewitt and Rucker Avenues when I looked up and saw this…

You can’t see our space, just the upper floors for housing, but it was still exciting to see our building as part of the city skyline!
Finally! We get to go inside the gym… September 15, 2009

Last week the kind Marpac crew invited us over for a “Safety BBQ”, which also provided the opportunity to take a tour inside the center.

It’s looks like a gymnasium! August 24, 2009

“It’s look like a gymnasium!”
At least that’s what Cathryn Vandenbrink from Artspace said last week when she was visiting the project site. Apparently, the outline of our new Visual Arts Education Center looks very large when you’re standing in the middle of the 20ft tall open space. Unfortunately, we (Arts Council staff) did not get see this first hand, but I did take some new construction photos from the sidewalk.
As you can see Marpac is done with the concrete and has moved onto wood framing for the residential portion of the building.
Enjoy!
