AKA - February Meeting Notes
BALTIMORE: VACANT LOT/STUDIO-HOUSING DISCUSSION
The Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts (BOPA : http://www.promotionandarts.com/) and Area 405 (http://www.area405.com/) will set up a work table in the gallery in AREA 405 to discuss ideas on how to utilize urban vacant lots to make artists work/live buildings.
They have invited artists, architects, city planners and AKA to the table. The goal of these buildings will be to provide maximal work spaces attached to very minimal live spaces that will be made at very affordable costs.
Each hour a new group of experts will be scheduled to work at the table. Visitors will be welcome to join in these discussions.
At the end of the session drawings, lists, proposals and other information will be available for view.
