147 [S2E50]: Sculptor Adam Nahas on the Rise and Fall of Artisan Alley
Adam Nahas of Cyclops Studios, a sculptor, was also the founder and executive director of the former Artisan Alley, an artist's cooperative and nonprofit incubator from its founding in 2011 until 2023. It folded earlier this year. During its existence, Artisan Alley provided a community for artists, offering affordable studio space, and evolved to meet the needs of local artists through various programs and initiatives. The city arts director helped them rent space at what would become Switchyard Park, which allowed them to expand and offer more resources like gallery space, a tool share, and classroom space. It even incubated other nonprofits, art-related and not. The life cycle of an arts collective on today's episode.
Later in the show, a Last Pitch on the city council's controversial proposal to double its own salaries.
