Spaceworks is a joint initiative of the City of Tacoma and the Tacoma-Pierce County
Chamber designed to activate empty storefronts and vacant space. The initiative 
makes no- and low-cost temporary space, training, and technical assistance available
to artists, creative entrepreneurs, organizations, and community groups in order
 to nurture successful projects that transform Tacoma into a stronger, more active
city.

"Spaceworks Tacoma represents a solid partnership opportunity for property owners
and the arts community. Vacant spaces can create negative perceptions and do little
to encourage leasing. In times like these, it is important for the City and property
owners to work cooperatively and make Tacoma a better place to live, play, and do
business."
Mayor Marilyn Strickland
