EL PASO, Texas - The new Artspace lofts located on the corner of Oregon and Missouri are expected to attract creative artists to the Borderland.
Eric Pearson, CEO of the El Paso Community Foundation, said the lofts are a great and much needed addition to the city.
"The best way to sustain downtown in the arts was to support the artists and build not only an arts scene," Pearson said, "But make downtown an actual community, a bonafide neighborhood."
The lofts will combine 51 affordable live/work units for artists and their families with 5,000 square feet of multi-purpose nonprofit commercial space. This, along with a community room on the main floor providing extra space for meetings, exhibitions and performances.
