WHY
Our future
One of the biggest downward pressures on artists is rental affordability. Artery is unique in the arts ecology because it has always aimed to use its collective financial power to establish secure foundations to avoid the vicious cycle of rental rises and evictions that constantly force cultural practices out of the communities they were established in.
