Before renovating our Tube Factory artspace building, we visited many other adaptive reuse art spaces around the United States. Many of the strategies and approaches we saw informed and inspired our approach at Tube Factory and in our expansion into a second, larger building. This post explores these places. We suggest trying to visit them if you can.
