Artspace Projects, Inc. <br /> • and the Regional Cultural Facility Consulting Program <br /> Artspace Projects, Inc. is a unique non-profit development corporation that creates space for arts <br /> organizations and individual artists. Artspace's mission reflects its commitment to strengthening <br /> the role of the arts as a source of cultural and economic vitality in our communities. <br /> The mission of Artspace as put forth by its Board of Directors is as follows: <br /> The mission of Artspace Projects, Inc. is to create space where artists can <br /> live, work, exhibit, perform, and conduct business. By creating this space, <br /> Artspace supports the continued vitality of the surrounding community. <br /> We pursue this mission through development projects, consulting services <br /> and community-building activities which serve artists and arts <br /> organizations of all disciplines, cultures, and economic circumstances. We <br /> address the space needs of art organizations and artists for the long-term. <br /> By encouraging dialogue among artists and between artists and members <br /> of the surrounding community, we foster community and economic <br /> growth. <br /> Our success is measured both by the creation of functional space for <br /> artists and by the enduring positive impact on artists and the communities <br /> around them. <br /> While most widely recognized for its role in the development of artists' live/work space in <br /> Minnesota, Artspace's consulting work takes staff to communities throughout the country. In this <br /> capacity, Artspace has developed expertise in the areas of arts facility development and operation, <br /> housing and planning. In addition, Artspace is a national advocate for the arts and assists local <br /> arts groups and individual artists in their search for safe, affordable and appropriate space. <br /> In response to the need for human resources in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota, <br /> Artspace has created the Regional Cultural Facility Consulting Program. The intent of this <br /> Program is to assist organizations in the tri-state region with the technical, procedural and <br /> organizational elements of facility development, renovation and operation. This report outlines <br /> the work completed through this program for the Elk River Area Arts Council. <br /> • <br />
