"On Saturday from 12:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m., the nonprofit Economic Development on Third Street, which runs the Bayview Makers Kitchen, will offer a tour of the space and more information on the new retail hub."
"Earl Shaddix, the director of Economic Development on Third Street, said that the long-awaited space is "much needed." Bayview officials have been pushing to add more retail space to the third street corridor, but since the pandemic, businesses there have struggled to retain customers. "Our businesses have long been asking for resources like this," wrote Shaddix in his weekly newsletter."
"The Box Shop, a sprawling, industrial artists' studio bordering the India Basin Shoreline Park, will say goodbye to its longtime home at 951 Hudson Avenue this fall and move to a new location on Van Dyke Street - but not without a bang. On May 30, the studio is hosting a farewell dance party and fundraiser, where artists have created large-scale sculptures and metalwork art featured in music festivals including Coachella and Burning Man for nearly 23 years."
"A message posted on The Box Shop's fundraising page warned that the nonprofit's lease was set to expire in the spring of 2025, with no option to renew. For now, the nonprofit is still there, though it wrote that it will move to a new, permanent location by the end of the year. It looks like they've met their goal. In an email to Mission Local, a spokesperson for The Box Shop said that they were "thrilled to be staying in the neighborhood at a new location on Van Dyke Street.""

Bayview’s Box Shop, an industrial artists’ studio near India Basin Shoreline Park, will leave 951 Hudson Avenue this fall and relocate to Van Dyke Street. The studio will host a farewell dance party and fundraiser on May 30, featuring large-scale sculptures and metalwork created over nearly 23 years. The nonprofit reported its lease would expire in spring 2025 without renewal, but later said it met its goal and will stay in the neighborhood at a new location.
