ARTIST SPACE and DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

last updated: 10-16-06: organized the links into cities; deleted some inactive links; added a few new links.


This is a collection of links to some examples and resources related to developing and finding artist space, including studio space, live/work space, mixed use space.  I've been collecting these links for some time and the list has been growing and growing as I dig deeper into this issue.  If you'd like to contribute to the list please contact me or visit the myspace group here : http://groups.myspace.com/artistspace.  The same information is posted on the group's page.  

I hope someone somewhere finds this information useful.  =)
