Wonderland Revealed

Columbus was buzzing on Friday when the masses flooded Junctionview Studios to feast on more information surrounding the biggest question hovering over the local arts community recently - What is Wonderland? The Dispatch covered the unveiling, but here are some highlights to note:

* The facility will be housed in the former Wonder Bread factory and include artist studios, shared coworking space, band rehearsal and recording space, retail, and more.

* The five core project members are Adam Brouillette from Couchfire Collectives, Andrew Dodson from Central City Recording, David Hunegnaw from The Sandbox Columbus, Kevin Lykens from Lykens Companies, and Josh Quinn from Tigertree.

* Plans are for the first tentants to be moved in by later this Summer and to be completely rolling by the end of 2010.

* A nonprofit group will manage as to ensure low rent and be eligible for tax breaks and grant funding.

* They are trying to get video and other renderings up online in the near future and we'll post that when it is available.

* The group wants to hear from potential tenants, neighbors, donors, and supporters about what they think and how they'd like to get involved, so please fill out this form when you have time.
