Atira Housing supports art making, community art projects and arts and craft retail sales through their project EWMA (Enterprising Women Making Art). And Mission Possible has StudioWorks Art Studio/Gallery and Pottery Facility to provide space for artists who are residents of the Downtown Eastside and don’t have room to practice their craft.
