READ’S ARTSPACE

“The landmark Read’s Department sat idle for nearly 20 years before Bridgeport officials contacted Artspace. The structure, location, and need for affordable housing made it an ideal site for an artist live/work development. In large part, because of Brian’s leadership and understanding of all aspects of the project—from intricate financing to construction considerations—Read’s is now the cultural center of Bridgeport, and a vibrant home to area artists and their families.”
