Abstract:
Many performing arts organizations experience growth during their existence and
many will decide to expand the organization physically with the addition of a
performance space, the renovation of an existing performance space, or move into a
new space. This is a daunting task for many small organizations but with some
guidance, can be a great tool for expanding the organization. This project will be a
compass for organizations asking “should we expand our performance space, buy a
new space and renovate, build a new space, or continue with what we have?” Empty
Space will explore the process of purchasing and renovating a space in order to give
performing arts organizations the tools needed to make the big decision.
