The Barns


 The Artscape Wychwood Barns are located in barns built for streetcar maintenance in 1913. Now the barns have been taken over by Artscape and turned into a real community hub with artist live/work spaces, galleries. offices for art & environmental groups and a huge event space which is in hall 2 behind all those windows.  This space is used for all kinds of events such as weddings, exhibits and in winter the farmers market moves into it.

  5. That is n elegant looking build to be called a barn, but I understand its history. This is a fine use of the building now that it is no longer needed for streetcars.

  8. It's a very attractive building and so well repurposed. I guess there another place to store and service trams now, and they aren't left out in the weather.
