	Project Artaud, named after the French surrealist poet Antonin Artaud, was among the first warehouse projects involving artists' takeover of undeveloped abandoned buildings and the division of floors into individual live-work studios. Leased for $10,000 a month by Joe Krysiak in 1971, the huge warehouse in the Mission that formerly housed the American Can Company was developed by fabric artists, theater and circus performers, leather workers, painters, sculptors, jewelers, photographers, cinematographers and a house builder who took up initial tenancy and formed an artists' commune. Artaud later became the model for the 1988 Live-Work Ordinance, but in 1971 building codes and rules and regulations for live-works didn't exist. Meanwhile, as the city grappled with these new construction ventures, artists were busy developing other viable buildings.

	While some artists met with success in finding affordable and stable live-work spaces, others were continually displaced by eviction. During these decades San Francisco was undergoing massive transformation of its economic base resulting in widespread demolition of low-income affordable housing. The [[Redevelopment\|San Francisco Redevelopment Agency]] and its urban renewal projects were responsible for carrying out demolition of over 12,500 homes and single room occupancy hotel rooms. The displacement of thousands of residents set off a battle waged by tenants and small business owners who rejected urban renewal policies and fought for community control. Artists also formed community-based organizations and joined land-use coalitions to gain control of what was left of the remaining affordable housing stock.

	While cruising The Mission during Open Studios I passed the Million Fishes Art Collective on Bryant Street. But unlike the other times that I dropped by when collective members were setting up a talent showcase in their storefront performance/exhibition space, this time they were breaking it down. After a protracted conflict with a landlord more interested in fetching a profitable return on his property than providing housing for artists, the collective of nine years got the boot.
