Creative Space Agent Resource Launching Soon

As local business owner, we think you'd like to know about the Creative Space Agent, a new Web site that the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs (DOCA) is creating. The Creative Space Agent will be a free Web portal designed to advertise space to Denver’s creative community.  When fully operational, the site will allow creative businesses, artists and arts organizations to search for and promote available performance, rehearsal, studio, business and housing space that meet their unique needs. This project is an outgrowth of the Mayor’s Task Force on Creative Spaces.

During Phase One, DOCA is creating a directory of creative space for the launch of the full site in November, 2008.  Individuals, organizations and businesses who are real estate professionals, developers, property owners/managers and venue and facility managers can list their property at www.regonline.com/spaceagent, a temporary data collection site.  The deadline to submit a directory listing is Friday, August 22. 

Phase One will capture information in the following two categories:  

Creative Space Directory: A static directory, populated with information on spaces such as performance and rehearsal venues, exhibition areas, storage space, studios and live/work units.  Spaces from theaters to churches and commercial warehouses to retail and housing space designed and targeted toward creative enterprises should be listed.

Spaces with Creative Amenities Rental: A directory of spaces that offer rentals with special amenities for artists such as screen printing, woodworking or recording equipment.
 
In the next Phase, listings of creative space vacancies and sale properties will be solicited.  When completed, a full, searchable site will be launched and made available to the creative sector and public.

You can read more about the project at www.regonline.com/spaceagent.

The Creative Space Agent is an exciting resource for the community. I hope that you will post your directory listing to the Phase 1 site and ensure your staff and others you know are aware of this new marketing resource.
