Peoria arts nonprofit acquires building for planned creative maker space

WCBU reported that Artists ReEnvisioning Tomorrow, known as ART Inc., acquired a building at 1819 SW Adams Street in Peoria and began work toward converting it into a creative maker space. Plans include film and media production, gallery and event areas, creative workforce development and community programming. No completion date was announced.
