Geekdom’s successful model of shared office space/resources and incubator services for tech start-ups could easily be
adapted to the needs to the Eastpoint Community.
The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is a hugely successful community-based multidisciplinary nonprofit on the
Westside, which has contributed greatly towards the health of the neighborhood and the representation of Latino arts
in the city and nation. It now includes six buildings including a theater, gallery, and coffee house.

collaborative work.
