Live + Make
A creative placemaking approach to providing deeply affordable housing anchored in the arts.
- THE PROGRAM -
Imagine Art’s Live+Make Campus is officially opened!
We broke ground on February 23, 2023 and opened our doors on April 2, 2025. Live + Make offers 66 units of affordable housing, designed to serve artists and individuals with and without disabilities. The project is anchored by Imagine Art’s creative services, which include the art studios, community kitchen and services, such as job readiness, peer support and long term care.
Live+Make Update: Our complex is fully leased up! Reach out to Valhalla Management to put your name on the wait list. Read our FAQ to answer questions you might have about Live+Make. View our floorpans to see the mix of studio-efficiencies, 1 bed, 2 bed and 3 bedroom units.
It is hard to believe that we finally did it! We built it and they came - over 88 individuals changed their address and moved into the Live+Make apartment complex. Imagine Art is busy establishing itself as a demonstration and THIS IS THE PLACE where we plan to demonstrate the creative model of services developed over the last 29 years! Welcome to our canvas.
What is next? We are gathering baseline data from our residents, through a Baseline Survey form that aligns with social determinants of health. We aim to demonstrate the power of our creative placemaking strategies to change systems. We will be working on our “Not So White Paper” to be released in the fall of 2026, just in time for the 90th Legislative Session in January of 2027!
For such a time as this, we continue to seek partners to support our efforts in demonstrating.
