Description
Art spaces are more than galleries. They’re hubs of creativity. Whether it’s a space filled with artworks, a store echoing with live performances, or an abandoned industrial unit functioning as a workshop, these spaces invite people not just to see but to exchange experiences. Today, at the heart of every Western city neighbourhood, appearing art spaces that function as inclusive, collaborative havens blur the line between artist and creative entrepreneur, celebrating creativity as the new urban land value. Usually behind their doors and repurposed ruins, art spaces blur the lines between shelter and gallery, culture and subculture, enriching the ever-shifting urban landscape with energy. But this is where creativity and urban mechanisms collaborate. Where artists build creative landscapes, rising rents threaten the very neighbourhoods and their residents.
