ArtSpace is a wonderful place in Crestwood Court, where painters and artistic groups perform, draw, dance, exhibit their works, hold classes and sell their art. When the mall faced the problem of vacant retail space due to a slow e-business and planned redevelopment, management came up with a creative decision to make the space available to artists for a token fee. ArtSpace helps artists who, in turn, help increase attendance at stores that remain in the mall.
Opportunities to promote the painting on Artspace
Project administrators practice mailing of e-mails with presentation of new authors, including interviews with them. There is a blog on the Artspace website, which also reveals the authors’ work and gives advice on updating the collections. The company is also actively present in social networks such as Twitter (210 thousand readers), installations (345 thousand subscribers), Pinterest (over 7.5 thousand subscribers).
In March 2018, members of the St. Louis Classic Rock Preservation Community presented Alderman’s Board of Directors with a view of the mall area, which contained a unique idea for a multi-purpose local and country concert venue surrounded by local music museums, a music academy designed by musician and entrepreneur JBlackfoot, and an art studios for a local veteran organization.
