Faces, Spaces & Places is a visual exhibition exploring the causes, impact, and potential solutions to end artist displacement, offers a spatial justice view of the overlooked value of affordable artist workspaces across Massachusetts.

Through photographs, maps, testimony, and community engagements, The #ARTSTAYSHERE Coalition shares insights into what's caused artist displacement over time and how their volunteer advocacy organization, in partnership with community and other stakeholders, has turned the displacement trajectory around.

About The #ARTSTAYSHERE Coalition

#ARTSTAYSHERE (ASH), is a volunteer nonprofit solely committed to preventing artist displacement, creating more inventory of affordable artists workspaces, and helping to create policies and protections for artist workspace was born from the community advocacy work done to prevent the displacement of Dorchester's Humphreys Street Studios.

Since then, ASH has helped preserve additional artist workspace communities in Massachusetts including the Brighton's Sound Museum, Charlestown Rehearsal Studios, and Somerville's Central Street Studios.

#ARTSTAYSHERE creates advocacy campaigns, holds community convenings, and hosts the Culture Crisis Conversations podcast series.
