<div>Everyone is creative — we just need the space to prove it.
</div>
<div>Bespoke House is more than a studio or gallery — it’s a cultural hub where Jacksonville’s Film Coast Creative Class can build, grow, and thrive. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE: Help Us Bring a Creative Landmark Back to Life
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re still charging toward our long-term vision of opening a full creative arts school — but right now, we have a powerful chance to take the next big step.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bespoke House has the opportunity to secure the historic Old Daily Record Building in the heart of Downtown Jacksonville. This iconic space sits right behind the Florida Theatre and holds decades of printing, publishing, and storytelling history. Now, we have the chance to revive it with new energy — artist studios, a member-run gift shop, livestream and podcast production, gallery exhibitions, and creative services all under one roof.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This building is more than a stepping stone — it’s a transitional facility that allows us to prove our model, activate programming immediately, and serve hundreds of artists while building momentum toward the full campus.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need your help to unlock this space, build out the infrastructure, and bring Jacksonville’s creative class the headquarters it deserves. Every donation moves us closer. Every share expands our reach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s turn history into future. Let’s build Bespoke House together.
</div>

</div>
<div>LONGTERM:
</div>
<div>Now, we’re raising funds to secure a game-changing new facility: a historic 4.5-acre campus with classrooms, media suites, and the potential for live/work housing, sports courts, and large-scale immersive experiences.

<div><strong>Final Vision: “City Within a City” for the Creative Class</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campus isn’t just a building. It’s the blueprint for Jacksonville’s new creative economy — combining live/work residencies, education, immersive festivals, galleries, and production under one roof.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The long-term goal is to create a self-sustaining cultural district — funded through memberships, media partnerships, educational programming, studio leases, and strategic grants — while directly contributing to Jacksonville’s economy, job creation, and cultural identity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The stereotype of the “starving artist” ends here. Bespoke House is building a new creative economy — one that values artistic work, pays creatives fairly, and offers platforms for visibility, income, and collaboration.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We’ve built a strong foundation:</strong>
</div>
<div>Two campuses in Murray Hill
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A waitlist of over 30 artists for studio space
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A community of over 50 active members and 3,000+ supporters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A live-streaming platform sharing our events, interviews, and performances across the Film Coast and beyond
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, we’re asking our community to take the next step with us.
</div>
<div>Cancel the starving artist. Build a real future for art in Jacksonville.
</div>
<div>Donate, join, or sponsor today and help us create a permanent home for Florida’s growing creative class.
