Overview
Studio 54 will serve as an arts incubator in Historic Norcross providing six individual business spaces and one common retail space. An addition must be constructed to house a store front. This incubator coupled with a retail store front will complement both the city's effort to attract destination businesses and the goal of NAA to enhance the quality of life in our community through art. By providing reasonably priced studio space with the proper resources, much needed, affordable space and support not currently available in this diversely populated area will be provided for small creative businesses. To insure the success of the incubator, tenants will be required to attend: initial orientation, monthly tenant lunch to share business practices and support, quarterly marketing class, quarterly business acumen class, quarterly strategy meeting. Tenants are also required to develop classes, workshops or volunteer in NAA community outreach programs.
