Artspace Projects announced today a $500,000 grant award from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), in support of the Pullman Artspace Lofts capital campaign. The Pullman Artspace Lofts will provide 38 affordable live/work units for artists and their families in Chicago, as well as exhibition and community space. The landmark project has been designed into the planning of the Pullman Historic District, a working class “company town” dating to the 1880s that was proposed for partial demolition—but was instead designated a National Monument by President Obama in 2015, following a successful community campaign. Artspace’s mixed-use development is considered a significant investment to the neighborhood and will integrate new construction on vacant land with the historic preservation of two gorgeous apartment buildings, anchoring Pullman’s eastern boundary.
