The Lot
The Lot is Artspace's pocket park and public art space. It is located near Artspace at 812 Chapel Street, the site of a busy bus stop. Artspace has been presenting temporary art installations at this site since 1999, and redeveloped it as a dedicated art space in 2005, in collaboration with local and federal agencies.
The site is a square of about 90 x 90 feet (27 m), facing Chapel Street, with a short side passage connecting to Orange Street. The site is bordered by the sides of neighborhing buildings. Around the site's perimeter, seven 25-foot (7.6 m) rigger poles support lighting and hanging hardware for artwork. The Lot is not gated; it is accessible to the public 24 hours a day.

Famous quotes containing the word lot:
“When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally—as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing—if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Horses and children, I often think, have a lot of the good sense there is in the world.”
—Josephine Demott Robinson (1865–1948)
