LINC: Creating Affordable Artist Space

Are you trying to focus on your art but worrying instead about getting evicted from your studio? Are you looking for affordable space to work or perhaps create your own live/work digs but don't know where to turn? Do you spend more time worrying about zoning codes, financing, and development than on your own creative process…but feel you have no choice? LINC is working to help you find the answers you need.

LINC - short for Leveraging Investments in Creativity - was established as a ten-year initiative to support individual artists around the country. We recognize that in many communities, artists are being forced to become "developers by default," particularly in markets with high housing costs, limited supply of space, and/or areas where the space does not meet their unique needs. LINC is working to help artists find accessible information and support, to answer complex questions related to the development of affordable space.
