The Gant-Gilbert Arts Collective in a former Howard Savings Bank building is intended to help spark a revival of the South Ward's Clinton Hill neighborhood.
Would-be residential tenants must apply through a Bronx-based company, Innovative Property Management & Development Inc., demonstrating they meet maximum income requirements. There is also a preference for conceptual, fine, or performing artists, under which applicants must submit resumes and references.
The middle of the first floor has a meeting/performance space, where a standing-room crowd of 120 people gathered for remarks by Southerland, Baraka, the city’s deputy mayor for economic development Allison Ladd, and several members of the borough council. Artists and arts promoters were on hand to scope out possible new homes or venues. Malcolm Rolling and Andrew Binger, proteges of Gilbert who now work at Yendor, were there to pay homage to their old mentor, look at the space, and network.
