| The Vision The artists and activists of Joe's Movement Emporium are poised to triple the size of the facility, which occupies three formerly vacant storefronts. We envision creating a stable platform from which to present and expand a unique blend of programs that promotes multicultural arts and traditions in our neighborhood. The size and features of a warehouse a block away from our current facility in the town center of Mt. Rainier, Maryland, are ideal. The former Direct Mail Building at 3309 Bunker Hill Road has 20,000 square feet on two levels, parking lot, and ample front porch space. Located just one block from Mt. Rainier Elementary School and within walking distance of Christian Family Montessori School, the new Joe's will provide a convenient, welcoming space in which to present multicultural arts and deepen relationships within and around our richly diverse community. A cafe will drawa larger audience and retain post-performance traffic; a pantry kitchen will house an after school culinary education program in partnership with the Capital Area Food Bank. Also, the mix of rental space for individual artists and small arts organizations will generate a solid revenue stream. A permanent home for Joe's will be an aristic and educational hub that continues to foster individual and neighborhood growth and demonstrates the economic strength of the regions arts community. |
