This spring, Avenue for the Arts will be celebrating a new addition to its community: Verne Barry Place Live/Work Spaces.  Verne Barry Place includes 6 live/work spaces designed with the “artist in mind.”  Opening this month, these unique lofts are designed to facilitate creative living in a Cool Cities neighborhood.

The Verne Barry Place Live/Work Spaces are a mix of new construction and historic renovations in Heartside, a historically significant neighborhood. The open floor plans are attractive to modern design and living, offering entrepreneurs the ability to live and work in a prime downtown location.  The spaces feature amenities designed to appeal to artists and creative individuals: ample natural light, hardwood floors, and primed walls.  In addition, all the spaces include appealing features of comfort such as new appliances, central air conditioning, utility sinks for easy cleanup and off street covered parking. The spaces at 62 and 64 South Division are two level units and include exterior balconies.  With rental prices starting at $700 (including all utilities) and square footage ranging from 950 to over 2,000, these will be very attractive spaces to local artists.  The Verne Barry Place Live/Work Spaces are constructed as a “green project” and will qualify for LEED certification. The 6 Verne Barry Place Live/Work Spaces are located between Weston and Oakes on east side of South Division.
