L-r, click to enlarge & read the fine print: the mindset; bike racks created through the Steel Yard, for municipalities that want a nice look; the pagoda where tix are sold to events; a mural on a storage container. A decade ago a couple of artists took over a brownfields site in the industrial heartland of Providence, RI, where America's industrial revolution took root. They turned it into a studio-atelier-workshop-place to get dirty-celebration-next generation-entrepreneurial-sparks fly-molten iron pours kind of place that politicians love to visit ... now that the Steel Yard has been around 10 years and remediated the site. It was good that the founding artists came from wealthy families, because government was ZERO help.
