Free space for Local Artists

An article in the New York Times today discussed a new art gallery in London that was occupying a large, hard to rent vacant retail space. The Landlord was charging a nominal amount and did require the tenants to vacate on short notice, but, in the meantime a variety of artists had a great place to show their work and the Landlord had a rich, vibrant space to show prospective tenants rather then a dead, dreary, vacant one.

If your a landlord looking for temporary tenants I'd encourage you to look no further then the local art scene. If your part of the art scene and need cheap space, start looking for vacancies and start calling leasing agents and owners. These types of ideas are win win's for all concerned including the customers.
