The three-story building has been meticulously renovated to accommodate fine artists in 38 studios. The grounds will include space for outdoor performances and a public art garden featuring murals and sculptures by local artists. The Crown Corset factory, built in 1907, manufactured corsets, hoop skirts, and other foundation garments. The 500 mostly female workers of the factory walked out in August, 1915, joining a strike of garment workers in Bridgeport that led to all American workers having an 8-hour work day. The creativity and productivity of the building lives on with the vibrant and thriving arts community that now resides within its walls.Metro Art Studios is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing free and low-cost art, music, and cultural events and experiences to the public of the Greater Bridgeport CT region. Metro also supports professional fine artists with resources, networking opportunities, and workshops." } ] } ] ```
