Building acquired and owned by 467 Richmond LLC. Operational and capacity building for the arts provided by Rosanna Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. The Rosanna Elizabeth Foundation was formed with the intent to promote and provide opportunity for the arts through community based development. The foundation is a tribute to the memory of Rosanna Elizabeth Heckl, an artist, social advocate who died in 2009 after a long battle with breast cancer.
Through market analyses we aim to identify organizations and groups that may need this type of space/residential campus to grow their organization and programs. The space and programmatic design aims to be accessible to arts and community groups looking to add value to their current programs as well as individuals and or groups seeking space for community meetings, private and public events.
