PS109 @ MEDIANOCHE!
SATURDAY MAY 20TH 2PM - 9PM
161 EAST 106th STREET
(btw Lexington & 3rd ave.)
PLEASE JOIN US FOR THIS OPENING EVENT OF THE PS109 ARTIST NEEDS ASSESSMENT
PS109 (99th st btw 2nd / 3rd ave)
Artists, we need your help!
More specifically, we need your thoughts and opinions for a survey of the space needs of artists of all disciplines.
Artspace Projects (www.artspaceusa.org), a national nonprofit organization, is working with El Barrio’s Operation Fightback in East Harlem to transform former Public School 109 (PS109) into a live+work arts/community facility. This survey will help us do so. Please join us on May 20th to launch the survey! Starting at 3pm, and each hour thereafter, we will provide a presentation about the project and the survey.
From Saturday May 20 - Saturday July 15, artists of all disciplines are invited to complete a confidential online version of the survey at:
http://www.ArtspaceNYC.org
This project will serve the El Barrio community through sustainable cultural infrastructure that facilitates East Harlem not only as a creative community, but also as a Latino cultural capital. As you probably know, there is a lot of good work happening in the area to promote a cultural corridor, and projects like this will only serve to strengthen El Barrio's efforts to provide long-term capacity to the unique voice that has come out of the community for decades.
Specifically, this project will serve the El Barrio community by providing low income live+work units that are at or below 60% area median income. 100% of the live+work units in the facility will be low income units. The facility will also provide some 6-12,000 square feet of arts, culture and community space.
Artist participation in this survey is critical to making this project a reality. Your input will not only help us to understand if there is a need for low income live+work units, it will also help us understand the design and amenities needs within the project.
If you have questions about the survey, contact Artspace Projects at 612.333.9012, MediaNoche at 212.828.0402, or El Barrio's Operation Fightback at 212.410.7900.

Artspace Projects (www.artspaceusa.org) es una organización nacional sin fines de lucro que está trabajando en conjunto con El Barrio’s Operation Fightback en la transformación del edificio donde antiguamente operaba la escuela P.S. 109. Dicho edificio está ubicado en lo que se conoce como el East Harlem. Este proyecto, propone convertir dicho edificio en una instalación comunal de usos múltiples (trabajo/vivienda) para beneficiar a artistas de escasos recursos. Por medio de la presente encuesta, esperamos concretizar este proyecto. ¡Por favor únete a nosotros para el lanzamiento de esta encuesta! Partiendo de las 3 p.m., haremos una presentación sobre el proyecto y la encuesta a cada hora.
Desde el sábado 20 de mayo hasta el sábado 15 de julio, todos los artistas de todas las disciplinas, están invitados a completar la siguiente encuesta, la cuál es estrictamente confidencial. Por favor visite la siguiente dirección internet:
http://www.ArtspaceNYC.org
Este proyecto, va a apoyar a la comunidad de El Barrio a través de una infraestructura cultural consistente que apoye al East Harlem, no solamente como una comunidad creativa, sino también, como la capital cultural Latina. A como probablemente ya sabes, se está haciendo una cantidad significativa de trabajo en el área, para promover que El Barrio se convierta en un corredor cultural. Así que, proyectos como este, solamente ayudan a fortalecer los esfuerzos de El Barrio para seguir apostando por un desarrollo ilimitado de esa inigualable voz, que por décadas, ha emanado de la comunidad.
Específicamente, este proyecto apoyará a la comunidad de El Barrio ofreciendo unidades de bajo costo para vivienda+trabajo, calculadas a valer el 60% o menos del salario promedio en el área. El complejo habitacional también ofrecerá entre 6 y 12,000 metros cuadrados de espacio comunitario para uso artístico y cultural.
La participación de los artistas en esta encuesta es crucial para poder convertir este proyecto en realidad. La información que proveas, no sólo va ayudarnos a entender si existe necesidad y demanda por unidades de vivienda+trabajo, sino que también nos va a ayudar a entender que tipo de diseño y comodidades son requeridas para este proyecto.
Si tienes alguna duda o pregunta sobre esta encuesta, contacta MediaNoche al 212.828.0401, o El Barrio's Operation Fightback al 212.410.7900
