Idea 8 : Art Center
Though not available for funding through the Art in Public Places program an art center of some kind was a key request of stakeholders in the planning process . An art center could be used to host art classes , showcase artworks by local artists and serve as a space for small performances . Vacant big box retail spaces in Port St . Lucie may be ideal candidates to transform into an arts center , even on a temporary basis . It may be possible to partner with other local arts organizations in order to fund and implement . Additional studies should be undertaken by the city as funds are available .
