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:
“In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.”
—Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951)
“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
