The East Garrison community is a mixed-use planned community built on the former Fort Ord military base in Monterey County. Affordable-housing apartments, 994 homes, 37 acres of parks and open area have been developed. The plan calls for 340 more homes and a Town Center to be built with commercial space and affordable live/work artist lofts.
Historic buildings are also to be restored for adaptive reuse. Arts Habitat and ArtSpace will partner to serve as the owner / operator of the buildings and to realize the vision for an Historic Arts District in East Garrison. Arts Habitat is leading the way to a thriving center for arts at East Garrison.

Are you a Monterey County artist who would like to get involved with the Arts District at East Garrison? Contact us at staff@artshabitat.org or (831) 624-6111 We’d like to hear your input about development and use of the eight historic mess halls and several warehouse buildings that will be converted to 55,000 square feet of day-use artist studios suitable for artists in all disciplines. And, soon a waitlist will be created for artists interested in occupying the affordable live/work artist lofts that are targeted for completion in 2026. |
