Create Space: A peek inside the new Millworks artist studios.

For the past two months, artists have been filtering into The Millworks, setting up their studios within an 85-year-old art deco building that long served as a lumber manufacturer and supply store.

A year-long renovation carved 23 artist studios and one shared space from the long-abandoned, once-dilapidated building across from the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg. We wanted to share a first glimpse of this stunning renovation, as well as portraits of the lucky artists who get to create there.

Fortunately, these studios are not just for the eyes of the creators. Next month, once the building’s farm-to-table restaurant and beer garden debut, the studios will be open so that people can see them, interact with the artists, and, we hope, support our city’s art community.
