BIPOC STAHC Property will include artist-envisioned amenities, such as:
Art Studio Spaces, Gallery & Teaching Spaces, Community Indoor/Outdoor Kitchen, Play areas for children, Community Garden, Communal Fire Pit, Tiny Amphitheatre, Common Spaces, Market Plaza, and more.
Artists will own their homes, and be part of a community effort to connect their skill sets to the local community in which the tiny houses will be built (just a small piece of a much larger project.)
Values:
- Integrity
- Authenticity
- Family
- Justice
- Hope
Goals:
- Provide BIPOC artists the ability to invest in long-term financial growth,
- Provide communities access to professional artists of color,
- Create business opportunities for these BIPOC artists in communities for which these tiny art houses are co-located.
Reshaping the way government, foundations, and communities view a healthy living environment by providing an economic framework that allows the most vulnerable to build a sustainable business and home.
- Grid-tied (to be able to sell energy back to the city)
- Water catchment systems and greywater solutions to preserving water resources
- Community living where artists and community members collectively create a new way of coexisting
- Replicable design model particularly in BOIPOC-inaccessible and high-displacement neighborhoods.
What is unique about our business model?
Co-leadership, circular leadership, and non-hierarchical, ethical leadership models allow BIPOC STAHC to work and train our consultants in building and creating, not only our program, but their own consulting business. This is a non-traditional way of hiring, designed to empower BIPOC artists as small business owners, not as employee-employer systems that keep folks trapped in a colonialist model of wealth depletion. It also allows us to hire those most impacted by the prison industrial complex, houseless individuals, those without a college degree, and single parents.
Everyone is of value, and everyone:
- has potential to learn
- can excel if provided access, opportunities and exposure to comprehensive training, professional development, networking
- has the ability to collectively lead as colleagues not hierarchical management structures.
