Plant Zero is a pretty cool place. It's a big building where artists can rent small spaces to work in or use as galleries. I've met numerous artists, including photographers, potters, sculptors, painters, furniture makers and makeup artists who all have spaces here. It also lends itself to a very collaborative atmosphere since they all are right next to each other.
In addition, you can host events here. I've been to lots of events here and have worked with groups that have hosted events here and everything is always very nice. There's one big room where the events are usually centered. The room is pretty basic and can be decorated to fit a variety of styles. They have funky lantern lights you can use if you want.
I've been to auctions, art shows, parties and fundraisers, each of which gave the space its own unique feel. If you've got a larger event, you can set up space in the hallways between the artists' spaces. I've been to parties where there's food and a bar in the main room, but there are other bars placed in other open locations to allow people to flow around the building. This is pretty cool too since there's usually some random art installations hanging throughout the hallways.
There's also ample parking in a lot across from the building, which is nice since this can be a problem at lots of downtown facilities. I'd definitely consider Plant Zero for a special event. read more
