"The GoDown occupies a 10,000-square-meter warehouse, providing basic studios, rehearsal, and performance spaces to visual and performing artists groups, ranging from musicians, sculptors, and painters to television producers, web-designers, dancers, and acrobats. We promote professional development through training, workshops, and exchange, while creating an environment for innovation and collaboration between artists. The center also houses an exhibition gallery and a performance venue where the public engage meaningfully with the arts."

I met so many artists there today that spoke my language! Most of the artists there got degrees in art and had business cards with their artist website. It reminded me of the River Arts District in Asheville. There was even an outdoor cafe to eat lunch. I met so many artists that awed me, but I will only show a few here. "Like" the GoDown on Facebook so you can see some more of what we saw today and let it inspire you to create something meaningful that comes from your thoughts, your soul, and your heart.
