AVAILABLE POTENTIAL ENTERPRISES LIMITED

    MA

Institution/Business Type: Performance Facility

Available Potential Enterprises, Ltd. supports contemporary artists working in all disciplines, by preserving and supporting the spaces in which they create, perform and exhibit their work. A.P.E. was conceived of as a workspace for artists. Its "shape" was largely determined by the creative needs of the Northampton community, tempered by the strong commitment of its directors to the understanding that space, time, and protection from economic pressure are critical for the realization of new and original work. A.P.E. has always insisted that the work of creating is valuable in and of itself, separate from any economic return.

 

A.P.E. receives funding from box office receipts, sales of artwork, individual donors, corporate, local, state and national sources, as well as many in-kind contributions.
