4. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
generally I’m happy to hear all your amazing and unique ideas for using the space. I have some basic ideas in mind, mostly based on the seasons  but feel free to share whatever you have in mind! 

I would love to hear from local artists, people of the global majority, emerging/underrepresented artists, queer artists, people who will particularly benefit from having an affordable space to showcase their work
