Arts Groundwork set for new Pueblo art space
Posted by Edie Adelstein on Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 12:56 PM
Pueblo is one step closer to getting a community art building, one that could include a theater and artist studios.
Artspace, a nonprofit real estate development company based in Minnesota, visited Pueblo this February to see if the town was a feasible option for a "potential mixed-use arts facility project." Turns out, Pueblo is a great candidate — the team even selected a few locations that could be renovated — and now other studies will be conducted to establish what the space could include. ArtsMarket, a Montana consulting firm, will perform the analysis, likely taking four to six months to complete.

Here's the full report:
