EVERETT — If you’re an artist, you might want to put your pen to paper and try to secure yourself a place in Everett’s soon to be regional art center.
Artspace has officially entered into the pre-leasing phase of the application process for the new Artspace Everett Lofts at 2917 Hoyt Ave. in downtown Everett.
There will be 40 affordable units for families and individuals available on the top floors of the 80,000-square-foot, $17.2 million Artspace building. The artists’ apartments are set to open in May.
The multiuse visual arts education center is a 10-year dream of the Arts Council of Snohomish County and will house artists and artwork, a glass shop and a gallery.
For artists, the application process to lease one of the units begins by obtaining an application at www.artspace.org/properties/everettwa.
To process and screen an application, there is a fee of $37 per adult and $12 per household member. The finished application and fee can be delivered in several ways:
Via e-mail by Jan. 9 to ArtSpaceEverett@Quantumms.com.
Via U.S. Postal Service mail postmarked by Jan. 9 to: Quantum Management Services, P.O. Box 2170, Lynnwood, WA 98036.
The arts council is not involved in the application or screening process for the Artspace Everett Lofts. Interested artists can direct questions to ArtSpaceEverett@Quantumms.com.
When it opens in 2010, the Artspace building will be known as the Schack Art Center, named after philanthropists John and Idamae Schack.
The Arts Council of Snohomish County embarked on a $6 million capital campaign to build this regional center for visual arts and so far has raised about $5 million.
