Abstract:

When businesses and industry began leaving downtown Durham ten years ago, artists, artisans, and designers moved into the unoccupied spaces, creating studios and an artistic community. Some bought buildings for studios; others rented their work spaces. Now that Durham is ready to commit millions to downtown redevelopment, many artists have concerns over what will happen to them, especially if development increases rent.
