Where Artists Are Taking Over Vacant Storefronts

The pandemic hollowed out our cities, leaving empty downtowns and office buildings in its wake. With galleries and art venues closed and disposable income at a low, the arts sector took a major hit.

What if we killed two birds with one stone by using our cities' vacant commercial space as affordable artist studios and galleries? That's the idea behind Zero Empty Spaces. Since its launch in June 2019, the Florida-based organization has placed more than 600 artists in 10 commercial buildings in 10 cities. Most are in the group's home state of Florida but they've extended as far as Little Rock, Arkansas and Boston.

7 Tips for Transforming Underutilized Spaces for Events

Zero Empty Spaces is dedicated to transforming vacant commercial real estate into working artist studios that serve as vibrant hubs for creativity and community engagement.

“We activate these spaces where artists can create and collaborate at an affordable price while having the ability to be discovered and sell artwork out of their studio,” shares co-founder and managing partner Andrew Martineau. “Our innovative approach addresses the challenge of urban blight and retail vacancies by temporarily occupying unused spaces until permanent tenants are secured by property owners.”

Using Vacant Commercial Spaces As Affordable Artist Studios Is a Win-Win

Since the pandemic, large swaths of office space across the United States have sat vacant. The downtown areas and other commercial centers that have enjoyed the built-in business that office workers bring have gone from bustling to bust.

At the beginning of 2024, 13.7% of office space was empty, while 7.6% of multifamily buildings, 4% of retail spaces and 5.6% of industrial spaces were vacant. As cities scramble to find creative new uses for these spaces, from climbing gyms to small-scale manufacturing to vertical farms, one organization in Florida has a stop-gap answer: Use the empty space for affordable artist studios.

Flurry of Flamingos

Flamingos are everywhere — on hats, paintings, sculptures, standing on one leg, necks outstretched, feathers ruffled, flamingos are the both the whimsy and the wonder of the new exhibit titled “Whimsy & Wonder” at The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County. The exhibit continues through Jan. 13.

While flamingos are the main motif, whimsy is evident in many of the creations, including animal figures by fiber artist Gin Blische, titled “Ruff Ride,” a second, “The Time Traveler,” made with sheep’s wool and “Octopuses Garden,” reminiscent of the Beatles song of the same name, with wool spun into a kaleidoscope of colors and whimsical tentacles.
