In 1999 a group of creative risk-takers were looking for a spot to co-locate. They found a building and formed the highly collaborative, supportive community of artists that is now at the Hot Shops Art Center.

At that time, North Downtown looked much different. There was no convention center and arena and riverfront development hadn’t happened yet. The baseball stadium, North Downtown businesses and hotels were not here. The growth has been amazing, and we are proud to be thought of as an anchor to the neighborhood.

We are excited to lay to groundwork for continued creative impact that elevates individuals and community!
