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:
“There is a lot of difference between tempting and leading into error. God tempts but does not lead into error. To tempt is to provide opportunities for us to do certain things if we do not love God, but putting us under no necessity to do so. To lead into error is to compel a man necessarily to conclude and follow a falsehood.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“You may be used to a day that includes answering eleven phone calls, attending two meetings, and writing three reports; when you are at home with an infant you will feel you have accomplished quite a lot if you have a shower and a sit-down meal in the same day.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
