Artists on Rochester
While Hollywood may make millionaires of some, for the most part a lifetime spent in the arts does not bring great wealth. By the time they come to the end of their careers, many arts workers are left with very little. That's where PAL Place comes in. The 86-unit housing project is coming to Ottawa for arts sector workers aged 55 and over. The unit is being built on Rochester Street, in partnership with Ottawa Community Housing. It is modelled on similar projects in Vancouver, Toronto, and Stratford. Residents will include actors, musicians, singers, dancers, designers, directors, writers, visual artists, technicians, and administrators. There have been over 140 applications to date.
PAL Place will include a 2,500 square-foot space on the ground floor, called Creative Spaces, that will allow residents to exhibit their art. With Barry Hobin as the architect, PAL Place will be built to Passive House Standards and will be a leading edge example of global sustainable building practices. A quiet fundraising campaign has already raised more than $1.4 million and a public campaign will launch later this year.
