Although it's doubtful that our pursuit of #MakingArt space in Mattapan will be our "final frontier," we were heartened (at least) by a recent site visit to AS220. Its founder, Umberto Crenca acknowledged "audacity" was the initial driving force behind this organization; especially its use of the arts to redevelop downtown Providence, RI.
When African Repertory Troupe, Inc. established Mattapan Cultural Arts Development to build a mixed-use, arts facility in Mattapan audacity was (and remains) a key factor in the "heavy lift" this project will require.
Space is critical to our current push to build capacity so we are in a position to not only fulfill our mission, but to forward Mattapan as a cultural arts district. Just imagine.
We have the audacity to believe we can; and AS220 provides a model of success in this regard.
