In Need of Studio Space? Willing to Share with Sculptors and Painters?

If this is still available, it sounds like a great deal for someone who wants affordable studio space* to do some creative out-letting. See the description below. You can get in touch with Sarah at sarahjulig@gmail.com.

*This is NOT a living space!

from Sarah:

hi all-
we are looking for a studio mate for the 1st or ASAP--
if you know anyone who needs space , or need space yourself, please respond!
the info is below---
thanks so much!

The studio is located in the "industry city" part of sunset park, just a block from the 36th st station and the express N and D trains.
It has large windows, a door to the fire escape/balcony, and 12 ft ceilings.
The room has a shelf, table, and chair.
The space you will be renting is part of the larger room, but we have subdivided it into 3 smaller rooms with walls for privacy.
Your space is 11/16 ft and has some natural light from the windows.
(we are building an opaque plexiglass wall to give it more)
We are sculpters/painters..
interested?

Sunset Park has a Colony of Handpicked Artists

Sunset Park is highlighted for its art spaces in New York Magazine. The article has a dramatic photo that makes Industry City look like DUMBO - but without the bridge in the background. Sunset Park is compared to 1970's Soho, and the artist tenants are handpicked, according to Lise Soskolne, an artist who works for the Industry City landlord.

Personally, I think that's a little creepy. Is it legal? I mean, can you handpick your tenants based on how politically active they are? Or if you manage to do it, can you-should you-make that public? Perhaps I'm misreading the article. It ends basically dismissing the chances of SP becoming a Soho or DUMBO. Phew! Anyway, here it is for your perusal: NYM article about Artists.

Curbed also has a take-down of the article. Here you go.
