During this economic downturn, frustrating realities seem to collide without ever finding common solutions. Office buildings stand empty while frustrated entrepreneurs struggle to find funds to get their businesses off the ground. Already-starving artists can't find affordable studio spaces while struggling art venues are cutting programming. A new concern in Madison may have the answer.
