Don’t miss your chance to lease-to-own studio space in the Eastside of Portland. If you are embarking on a creative enterprise,  then this could be your opportunity to own your studio.

Zoomtopia has one remaining studio space to lease, studio #7, with 1000 square feet for light industrial uses. The remainder of our 10,000 square foot building has been leased, and the tenants include:

• three dance companies
• a jeweler
• an arts quarterly and literary festival
• a glass blowing studio
• a photography and multi-media design studio.

We have  2000 square feet of common space that is being used for gallery space, lectures and book signings, presentations, and small events.

This is your chance to join this bustling building, and be a part of the creative community blossoming in the central eastside arts district. We are looking forward to the new Street Car line coming in 2012, and the opportunity to collectively own the building around that same time. We are building a strong, cooperative fellowship of artists, designers, performers, makers and doers, and we want you to join us.

“As a boy, Jerome moves from Brooklyn to the Lower East Side in Manhattan, and everything seems grand.

There is more light and more excitement in this new place. And even though times are tough for a family led by a single mother, Jerome sees a promising future for himself. By the young age of twelve, he’s already excelling as an athlete and performer.

But everything swiftly changes one night for Jerome. Walking home from a party with a friend, he’s shot in the back. Shortly after, he learns he’ll be paralyzed for life.

Jerome never meets his attacker, and the authorities never catch the person. News of a black adolescent getting shot in Manhattan doesn’t even rate a paragraph in the local paper. With only his close circle of friends, family and caregivers, Jerome is left looking for answers.

Rather than settle into a world of depression and anger, however, Jerome goes on to live a fulfilling and rewarding life. In this touching memoir, he confronts not only the demons he knows, but the one that remains mysterious, the one he reaches out to in Dear Marcus.”
