New Artspace voices are amplifying equity in the development process in the Northeast Arts District and surrounding area, partly due to efforts from the Rafala Green Fellowship program. The intentionality of the fellows threading racial equity and cultural diversity throughout the work is taking shape from the ground up.
Notable for being the first multifamily development in 60 years within Chicago’s historic Pullman neighborhood, Pullman Artspace Lofts provides 38 affordable live/work units, an exhibition space programmed by PullmanArts, and ample community space. On a beautiful spring afternoon in May, Artspace and its development partners, Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives (CNI) and PullmanArts, gathered outside to celebrate the project’s Grand Opening.
