SeeSaw Space gallery in Springfield

This may not come as a suprise to those art folk in the know, but SeeSaw Space in Springfield is no more. This is a sad day for art in Jacksonville. Who will rise up and fill the void left by SeeSaw?

That's correct Levi, he's leasing the seesaw space...

The demo of that building is years down the road....

Hey guys, barrett Fiser who ran seesaw space and works for jim draper toldold me that jim draper is not only turning see saw into another gallery for his paintings but he also bought the building next to it as well?

Thanks for clearing that up
Jason

Sorry, guys...

You're both wrong, the building the seesaw space was in, is scheduled to be torn down, but not the Draper Studio building.

As far as the "accidently" line, you may want to ask COJ why an emergency demolition permit was given to take down the building on the SE corner of 8th and Pearl...and it had nothing to do with JEA, but the road construction...
Josh Taylor

Yeah, not unless more JEA work needs to be done late at night and the structures "accidently" fall down...

Oh damn! What a burn on CVH. The timeline seems dead on, but the part about demolishing the whole block is a bit exaggerated. Demolition for the 8th and Pearl project is complete. None of the remaining structures at 8th and Pearl will be demolished.
Josh Taylor

Whoever takes on the task, they certainly won't be using the same space. The entire block is scheduled for demolition to make way for Craig VanHorn's ~~Starbucks~~ Town Center project. That should begin construction in late 2018 and be ready for occupancy in 2035. Exciting times they are a'comin'...
