BRATTLEBORO â An art collaborative wants to turn a warehouse on Old Ferry Road into studio space for circus arts, dancing, photography, and playing and recording music.
âItâs a nice perfect warehouse, a good size just for us,â said Shastin Joynt, a photographer and videographer who lives in downtown Brattleboro.
The group started a crowdfunding project to cover initial rent payments and a security deposit at kickstarter.com/projects/532685987/ a-collective-artist-space. Joynt and circus artist Julia Baccellieri are leading the effort and plan to put their names on the lease.
Joyntâs husband is a D.J. and music producer. The couple also has friends who are music producers.
