This issue of EU has an article about CoRK with some real nice photography on the website version. Looks good. http://www.eujacksonville.com/story2.php?storyid=2452

The second phase of CoRK......Down off Roselle and King (DoRK) is now full occupancy. Should be opening in two weeks. A third section as been acquired and is under development. Stay tuned to the Cork facebook page if you are interested in getting space.

How can people go to Cork and shop for art? It seems shut off to the public. Am I missing something or will it be open to the public at some point?

obie1 · February 07, 2012, 12:05:13 PM

ubben it is not a store it is a place for artists and crafters to get their work done. No doubt there will be gallery shows or events there where the public can come in and maybe even buy some work but as i understand it it is more like a small business incubator then a retail spot. any place to find a full list of residents?

Exactly. We will try to have an open studio weekend as soon as the new tenants are settled. We've been discussing having a bulletin board where the artists are listed, but it hasnt been done yet. I will try to move on your point, obie1.
Social networking should play a substantial role in activity at CoRK, DoRK. Stay tuned to the facebook site, we've already lined up some exhibits, openings literally throughout the year. At such exhibit openings, having all the studios open to public will be in everyones interests. Make contact with the artists, get into the tweet mode, (many artists will be open on the spur of the moment).

Real cool invasion of miami graffiti and mural artists happening this coming week. They will be painting the cork walls during the day so you can go meet the artists and watch them work. These are the same artists who were showing at basel this year. http://www.facebook.com/TheCo11ective

The graff murals are now getting up all over the walls. Take a drive by and check them out or take a look on the facebook page.

edited to say that is the cork facebook page that has the photos posted
