Resource to Research Alternative Spaces

www.as-ap.org is the resource Lauren Rosati mentioned at the end of her presentation.  I was just looking through it and it is the most amazing, comprehensive list of spaces all over the country.  Some are no longer in existence, but many are still around.  You can also listen to oral histories and even check out budgets and mission statements on a number of the organizations under "survey."
