Yes,
Lift45 will have events.. it's fucking HUGE ... so there will be large
common areas to have shows, dance floor etc.. hopefully even a full

Studio art
Trio plan a new place to create art
Artists
Greg Martin, left, Hallie Jones and Aron Conaway plan to buy and
convert the warehouse behind them into an alternative art space. The
trio said they are wearing masks because they want to be in control of
their own images. (By Pam Spaulding, The Courier-Journal)
Making
art and making art a career are often two different things. What
younger emerging artists call "self-sustaining art" is a lifestyle in
which art and business line up.
That's the notion behind a scheme by LAVA House artists Hallie Jones, 26, and Aron Conaway, 27.
The
couple, who are engaged, are joining with artist Greg Martin, 30, to
buy a vacant warehouse at 1455 Preston St. near the University of
Louisville. The three plan to convert it into studios and alternative
art spaces.
The 12,500-square-foot building covers four city
lots, said Jones. It has 30 parking spaces; five big, bay doors
suitable for art of almost any size; a ground-floor space just right
for a cooperative art gallery; and a three-bedroom apartment, where
Martin will live.
It already has a name, LIFT.45. An online survey to assess the needs of Louisville-area artists is at http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi? p=WEB224JMXDY3CX.
Depending
on artists' needs and the results of this survey and an earlier one,
there will be 10 to 20 studios in the building with one-year leases.
Tenants will share equipment. The partners expect to produce art
events, as LAVA House did until the fire marshal stopped the overflow
gatherings in too small a space last year.
Conaway, a founder
of the LAVA House collective (Louisville Assembly of Vanguard Art at
927 Shelby Parkway), said he and Jones have nearly four years
experience in management. "We pretty much ran the LAVA House as far as
collecting rent … putting events together, getting art in,
accommodating renters."
Now, he said, "we want to have
control over our own space and have the opportunity to work on the
space we own. We're also looking for something new, something
different, taking it to another level, working with other artists who
are more like-minded, more conceptual (than object-oriented)." The name
LIFT.45 is meant to signify moving up to another level.
The
partners want to hook up with the coterie of alternative art spaces
that are producing a new, national network that is going its own way
outside the traditional gallery system and mainstream museum art world.
"We really want to focus on being active in the community and
a force of social change and be really progressive in that way," said
Jones. "I don't think we will have a problem filling (the space)."
Conaway said there are already a half-dozen artists ready to sign studio leases.
If all goes well, LIFT.45 will open in October.
