I moved here as a person who loves art and have loved and appreciated all the artists and art around me. Venice needs to keep the soul that makes this place amazing.

This is the kind of affordable housing that really makes sense for Venice and preserves the creative spirit of the community.

Place has a proven history of understanding the process of listening to and engaging creative communities. Place has then been successful in offering solutions to invigorate and maintain those communities. We need Place to help our community move forward. with the type of developments that will save our artistic heritage.

This development would support the important cultural tradition of artists living and working in Venice and the ways they enrich our community.

I support the development of affordable space for Venice artists. The artists contribute to the development of our humanism, culture and education in creativity!

Brining PLACE to Venice is MUCH needed -- an oustanding response to the community and its artists !

Artists made Venice, keeping art in the community is essential to keeping Venice Venice. Nobody wants to visit "silicon beach" there is nothing interesting about a bunch of overpriced offices.

"Venice of California" is instantly associated with "artists" all around the world. It should continue to be a fact, not just a label. Gentrification due to the area becoming "Silicon Beach" puts in danger the presence of artists in Venice, a Los Angeles' asset that harbored now world-recognized artists and architects such as Chris Burden, Carles Arnoldi, John Baldessari, Ed Rucha, Charles and Ray Eames, Frank Gehry, Thom Maine, Eric Owen Moss, to name just a few.

Those that bring the character of Venice to Venice are being priced out!

This is the kind of project Venice needs to celebrate the arts heritage and enable an artistic future for the community.
