Project Storefronts announces ‘May lineup at 756 chapel, continues to attract cutting edge artistic talent’

This is from a press release:

"Project Storefronts continues to attract pioneering arts to underutilized spaces, announcing a series of cutting-edge, exciting events throughout the month of May" at 756 Chapel St., the city said in a press release.
"Located in the Ninth Square at the old Goldie & Libro site, an underutilized building with a rich arts history, 756 Chapel has become a hub for the New Haven arts community."

"Project Storefronts continues to contribute to a sustainable creative economy in New Haven by increasing 'feet on the street' and economic vitality through tourism, events, retail shopping, art exhibits and business development workshops," said Economic Development Administrator Kelly Murphy, also in the statement.   "It's a 'win-win' for all. Since its inception, Project Storefronts has been the incubator for six
businesses in New Haven. Through the increased activity all of the vacant spaces used so far by Project Storefronts have been leased."
