OK, for those of you that have been reading BRO’s City Channel you might have heard that a few of us are hot on turning the DL&W into a market place. Well, a few emails have come through inquiring whether we are keeping local artists in mind. During a recent tour of the terminal we peaked through the windows to see the large expanse of space on the inside. There is plenty of room for all sorts of art related activities inside and outside the terminal.
Instead of just showcasing the works of local artists don’t you think that this could be the type of scene where artists spend the weekends actually working on art projects as well? Glass-blowing, pottery throwing, etc.? We have been talked about an idea like this for the last six years. We originally looked at the space where the Elmwood Village Charter School is moving into for an artist s community along these lines. Art is a beautiful thing, but the making of art is extremely fascinating to people. If you are an artist, what do you think about this idea and what should we be taking into consideration when we explore this idea?
