apartments for artists and scholars

I'm trying to convince my friends to let me have this condo to manage as an apartment for visiting artists and scholars. I want them to leave it just as it is ... it's my historical preservation obsession ... i want to make changes, but i don't want the patina disturbed. I think it's a classic. They're skeptical.

This apartment is walking distance from the gallery district and in a nice, though somewhat strange, neighborhood. It (the neighborhood ... and the apartment) is quiet and reasonably well kept up. And it's cute. It's partly furnished. I want to work on that over time.

I want to advertise this through channels, and through media like this, and the deal I want to make with renters is they can contribute content to my media outlet ... or structure would be good too. The studio comes with a job! You can take it as far as you want ... there's a plan for that. I'm doing hospitality. I'm doing art marketing. I'm doing products for natural living. I'm doing mapping - that's far, far from all done - and modeling ... strangely, there's not enough of that being done. I'm doing how to literature - intensively. It's journalism. I'm doing hospitality, and home services, architectural services (though I'm not an architect), and planning. Strategic management, marketing, and finance, industrial development. I'm building a staff, with offices in diverse places. I'm building an international network of these studios. I have an amazing studio to use as a headquarters. I intend to hold many meetings there, and also workshops and symposia. If you have a property you want to place under this management, let me know. I intend to add properties as fast as I can.

I'm happy to correspond with you, if you want to discuss a stay, or a property. If you want to discuss a stay, think about what kind of project you might be interested in working on. Documenting a city, or a place? Documenting some kind of activity in a city or place, or some phenomenon? Constructing a proposal of some kind? I'll update about organized projects, too. This is the interview process.

This probably all sounds complicated. It's not! Don't be put off. We welcome everybody. I'm still putting the pieces together. I need to research the rental transaction. But it shouldn't be that hard. Let me know when you want to stay in a studio, and I'll discuss it with my partners. You can stay for as long or as short a time as you like. I'm committed to your comfort.

I'm mapping the neighborhood on a Prezi ... it's part of my promotional campaign. I'm sort of just getting started. I'll update progress on that here, too. next ..
