New home needed for Celestial Harp

July 20, 2016 · 0 Comments

After 14+ years of living in a renovated barn/studio, the Town of Aurora has decided to enforce a non-residential zoning bylaw. I have been told to move in two months.
The landlord has been great. Over 14 years there was cheap rent and no rental increases.
In 14 years, rents have significantly increased and my pension will no longer cover the rent for any similarly sized place (2,000 to 3,000 sq. ft.). So right now there doesn’t seem to be any place available for me and the Celestial Harp.
It looks like I will have to downsize and let go of the Celestial Harp.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to where the Celestial Harp might belong?
Three areas of concern stand out:
1. Find a home for the Celestial Harp.
2. Creative ideas about how the Celestial Harp might find a studio or gallery where it can reside and still maintain a presence in the community and perhaps get gigs?
3. How to find a rental place within my limited budget, for me and the Celestial Harp to stay together.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.
