It’s a story we’ve all heard before: Artists find cheap, funky space in a neglected industrial area and beautify it making the neighborhood more livable. Word gets out drawing more residents and development opportunities. Rents spike and these same artists eventually get pushed out.
Except this time, these artists organized, successfully fought back and secured stability that will keep them in the community in perpetuity.
In fact, in 2023 the fabled Emeryville Artists’ Cooperative celebrated the 50th anniversary of their inception.
