YoHo Community

I'm feeling pretty good about my new studio. It's about a 20 minute bike ride from my apartment. The space is almost ready for me to start working. All I've really got left to do is build a work table.

The building is in Yonkers, but it is being hyped up by the real estate company as YoHo Artist Lofts. The name "YoHo" is a bit corny, but there does seem to be a genuine community within the building.

On Monday, there was a meeting...I was able to meet a few of the other artists and some of the building management. Topics covered included upcoming building renovations and prelimary talk about the annual open studios held in the spring. Of course, I haven't started making any new work yet, but I've got some ideas and I should be getting started in a week or so.
