Description: "As gentrification spreads, we are priced out of neighborhood after neighborhood. Most working artists cannot afford this city's exponentially increasing studio rents: many of us are adjuncts, freelancers, part-time, or otherwise unprotected workers. We all know of fellow artists who have recently lost their spaces. The Artist Studio Affordability Project (ASAP) is an effort to bring this issue to the attention of the public and local politicians. We focus on raising awareness about the crisis of affordable studio space, and on advocating legislation that will protect and expand affordable artist studios."

The Audubon Park virtual walk--or, actual walk if you live nearby and visit in person--focuses on Audubon Park’s history from about 1841 to 1915 and traces its development from farm to suburb to cityscape."
