Welcome to the Project


Hello readers.
This blog is set up specifically to follow the progress of our project at The HangArt in Tucson, Arizona.

The idea behind this project is to look at the existing infrastructure on this downtown warehouse district lot and come up with a holistic plan for developing The HangArt space into a sustainable environment. This doesn't just apply to environmental sustainability, but also includes social and economic sustainability as well.

What is The HangArt?
The HangArt mostly focuses on music, but is by no means limited to music. Several local bands use the Quonset Hut as a practice space and concerts are also played there. The HangArt also has recording equipment and local bands record music there.
There is a one hundred year old warehouse on the second HangArt lot that houses an art gallery space. Art shows occasionally happen in this space, as well as acoustic music concerts. There are several artists and artisans who also use spaces on the lot to create their pieces.

As the project moves along I'll talk about things that we want to do to The HangArt to improve it and the concepts behind how we are coming to these conclusions.
