IRS990/Desc0In January 2023, Mainframe opened its final floor (Floor 2) of renovated studios and increased its total creative workspaces to 181 studios. The studios are occupied with individual artists and arts related nonprofits. Mainframe operated at a 98% occupancy rate with a waitlist of over 100 applicants. Income from affordable rents generated enough revenue to cover operating costs. The 4650 square foot event space provides a place for weddings, conferences, workshops, corporate parties, and fundraisers to occur for a rental fee. The 2nd floor common area became a learning space where professional development sessions are offered weekly to help artists and small businesses thrive. Mainframe serves as a beacon demonstrating that investing in the creative economy works.
