“The panicked artists called a meeting. The idea was floated that perhaps they could collectively purchase the building,”WBUR’s Amelia Mason earlier this week. The struggling artist is a character that lives on in cultural imaginations all across the world. But as cities — often the best places for artists to collaborate and find work — become increasingly expensive, even artists who have carved out a space for themselves are having trouble securing studio space.
, “Artists are often the harbingers of gentrification, drawn to run-down industrial areas by the cheap rent and lax oversight. They help make the neighborhood trendy… which raises rents, until the original artists and residents are priced out.” This issue is multifaceted, as where artists can comfortably live and work is often impacted by issues like race and class.
In her reporting, Mason explained that the idea of using art to improve neighborhoods is a common sentiment in Boston. Whether or not it’s sustainable, for both the artists and the communities they live in, is unclear. Artist displacement is a cyclical issue. However, as rents continue to tick up, it could reach a fever pitch.
