A little blurb about SHARED in this month’s Potrero View.

ARTISTS STAYING

Artist and author Marilyn Yu is offering space in her 91-year-old Bryant Street building to fellow artists, designers, and small businesses under a program she calls: “SHARED.” The facility features concrete floors, high ceilings, and natural light. SHARED is a well, shared, creative work-space that also features workshops and events, such as ukelele and sewing classes, screenwriting workshops, and a monthly collage party. Yu moved to San Francisco during the first dot-com boom in the late 1990s. After engaging in the art and urban planning scenes, in 2012 she bought her Bryant Street building with loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, friends, family, and more than a handful of credit cards. SHARED opened its doors last year.
