Worth Revisiting

I came across an online article mostly by accident today that was written when the building I rent workshop space in was sold to a new owner a few years ago. The article is worth reading not only for its take on the history of the building, but also because it describes an artist space well. The article which originally appeared in the Minnesota Daily can be found at the link below.

"Former General Mills research and development complex becomes an arts haven on Hennepin" by Sarah Harper

I bring this up because a space for artists is just as important as a space for makers. The Minnesota Daily article I reference here again reminds me that an artist, designer, or artisan needs the help and nurturing to succeed at his or her work that an artist space provides.
