[/caption]Artists looking to move closer to the belly of Chinatown (a.k.a. where pretty much everything worth checking out seems to happen) may have a bit of a break heading their way according to an article that went up today on the Honolulu Star-Bulletin website.
According to the article, the Mendonca Artist Loft comes courtesy Rich Richardson of the Hawai‘i Academy of Performing Arts with legwork and location by building owners Ernest and JoDee Hunt.
Applications for the new living/working spaces will be taken both at this week's First Friday and then the next day, Saturday.
They're going to be pretty lenient on their definition of artists according to the following quote:
"Designers, chefs, writers, filmmakers, mapmakers — the creative synergy has a lasting effect," said Richardson. "We're using a loose interpretation of the word 'arts.'"
If you think you fit the bill, they've got various sizes of lofts with scaling costs. Check out the info below for details on how to see it all for yourself.
OPEN HOUSE
Mendonca Artist Loft:
» Where: Corner of Hotel and Maunakea streets
» When: 5 to 9 p.m. tomorrow (during First Friday), and 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday
» Call: 778-6392
