Notes taken by Abachman, in the order I wrote them down.
- 8 people came, Adam, Sylvia, Kelly, Patrick, Mark, Matt, Jon, Steve.
- - -
- No limits on hours.
- Keys to the space's street front door can be made (with permission) to just about any extent. Keys to the Load of Fun building will be limited.
- Generally, noise is fully tolerated. Some limits on noise, depending on events scheduled on the public calendar.
- We could install direct water and heavy power lines, but that would be our responsibility.
- Doesn't want to install blast doors, although we didn't push the issue.
- Area measures: 18.5 by 36.75 feet. Ceiling for about 1/3 is 7 ft, the rest is about 12 feet (appx.)
- 1 monthly bill for utilities depending on usage, which is calculated by the landlord based on members, activities, equipment, etc. Approximation. Could range from $100 - $200 a month.
- Need liability and theft insurance, could get hookup through LoF's own insurance company.
- Anything over 25 people is a "public event" and needs to be scheduled/coordinated with the management.
- Alcohol may be served, but cannot be sold. Additionally, great care must be taken to card all guests. So, you can charge for tickets, but alcohol is free.
- Lease would start August 1st.
- Initial cost would be 1 + 1 (first month's rent + one month's rent as security deposit).
- Approval required before fixed construction.
- The Loft is available on a daily basis, cost is percentage of door and percentage of drinks(?), usually $150 - $200.
- The spaces move fast. No vacancies in four years.
- The landlord / mgr. (Sherwin) likes what we're about, willing to put us ahead of the waiting list in the interest of supporting what we're about.
- Building right now has 19 studios, 34 people, all kinds of artists. We saw the studios of a digital printmaker, sculptor, custom furniture maker, costumer, and painter.
Pros
- Cannot be beat for visibility and community (already exists as an event space and gathering place for artists and creatives).
- VERY tolerant landlord.
- Active arts community inside the building and in the neighborhood.
- Available.
- Within reach, price wise. (would require ~10 members @ $75 monthly to fully support rent and utils).
Cons
- No central AC or central heat.
- With large streetfront windows on North Ave and no rolling garage-style security door, security may be an issue.
