ArtAssembled is a Somerville Arts Council space project in partnership with Federal Realty at Assembly Row. This project activates vacant storefronts and transforms spaces into places to create. Focusing on low-volume performing arts practices, ArtAssembled currently has over 50 participating artists utilizing space mainly for rehearsals and inquiry.

 

Recently, ArtAssembled’s Emily Beattie performed her “Hyphae,” an interactive installation for a select audience. Coming up they are happy to announce their partnership with Monkeyhouse’s “Residency” program, allotting a total of 120 hours of rehearsal space to six selected movement artists from the community (selected by Monkeyhouse).

 

“After all the dance space closings in recent years, this new fully accessible, interdisciplinary performing arts space so close to the Orange Line is vital to the local dance ecosystem,” says Karen Krolak of Monkeyhouse.

 

ArtAssembled is looking forward to expanding their programming to support artists even further by launching an upcoming residency program to existing artists. If you are a performing artist with a low-sound profile who is looking for rehearsal space, check out www.artassembled.org
