Downtown Tucsonan: Steinfeld Warehouse Poised for Resident Artists
A vision is taking shape for the next chapter of the 105-year old Steinfeld Warehouse, 101 West 6th Street, which is now owned by the Warehouse Arts Management Organization.
A corridor may lead from the left door to the Steinfeld Warehouse’s courtyard in back.Imagine as soon as the next couple years seeing artists living in the portion of Steinfeld along 6th Street and commercial arts enterprises and public art studios along the 9th Avenue section.
WAMO members and the Poster Frost Mirto architecture and urban planning firm have been collaborating over the past month or so to come up with a conceptual plan for the Steinfeld, which has sat empty since 2007.
Artists came to a basic consensus on January 26 after picking and choosing elements from three different conceptual plans presented by Post Frost Mirto.
KVOA: Help Decide What Happens with the Steinfeld Warehouse
A 100-year-old brick building is sitting empty in downtown Tucson, but not for long. You can have a say in the future of the Steinfeld Warehouse.
Back in 2007 the Arizona Department of Transportation evicted all tenants from the fragile brick building. Now a non-profit is working to bring it back as a focal point of the area.
The Steinfeld was built in 1907. Today, if you were to pass 101 West Sixth Street, it looks a lot different than it did then. The Warehouse Arts Management Organization, or WAMO, hopes to change that.
