The Space Project, by MakeRoom Inc

MakeRoom Inc is a non-profit whose projects aim to enable emerging artists with the funds, access and space to reach broader audiences.

Its first and main initiative, The Space Project enables artists to submit their work to our online platform, which then gets projected on to real physical spaces at night.

The Space Project aims to create space for artists in a city where expensive real-estate is driving them out.  By creating in public areas for artists regardless of race, identified gender or marginalized class, The Space Project is diversifying and levelling out the playing field for art in the city, an area that tends to be racially homogeneous.

So far we have we have achieved:
