Brooklyn trailer park hopes to be next artists’ community

While artsy lofts were once en vogue on the Brooklyn arts scene, an indoor make-shift trailer park has emerged in the Nut Factory in Brooklyn, hoping to create an artists’ community in Bushwick. In a 6,500-square-foot warehouse, founder Hayden Cummings has assembled six recreational vehicle campers for use as “private artist studio space.” Cummings plans to collect around 25 to 30 of the 250-square-foot campers by spring 2010, and charge a $590 per month membership fee for use. “Folks who believe in the vision and are excited to contribute ideas, share knowledge, help organize, decorate and bring in others to make this something extraordinary,” will be allowed into the community, Cummings said, after a lengthy approval process. “There’s no affordable private space for artists to create art together, so now it’s come to campers in warehouses,” Cummings added.
