In talking to some of the faculty in the art building, I learned that the house adjacent to the community art/music building belongs to the music department. The name of this building is Music Annex. I think it would be a beautiful thing if someone would write a grant proposal of the use of that building. I would like seeing if the school could refurbish this building, which is not being used, and make it a building for artist and Artist in residence quarters? This building would be use to house visiting artists from around the world for the purposes of create art for one month. Because of the ideal location, this program could encompass printmakers, art majors, music, and dance. This would allow Wayne State University to become one of this nation large artist in residences programs in the world. This would take pressure the artist in trying to find affordable house while they are here for their stay here at the university. Everything that is needed is in walking, and biking distance. Other form of transportation is on them. A buy product of this is they could use the extra money to buy their art supplies or whatever.
