Artist finds home on old farm
The Associated Press
SAN ANGELO, Texas — Roger Allen had weared of losing his art studio space to the whims of landlords.
He was forced out of his ceramics studio three times, and on another occasion, his effort to restore a building was halted when a decision was made to tear it down to build a post office.
"That's when I got smart enough and said, 'I want to own the place and not be at someone's mercy.' Allen said. "That's when I went and found the building."
"The building" was actually a group of small structures that comprised a mostly vacant
chicken farm on the northeastern edge of San Angelo, a West Texas town south of Abilene. For more than 30 years, The Old Chicken Farm Art Center has been home and studio to Allen, his ceramic works and countless other artists.
"I always had dreams about being around other artists," said Allen, who paid $25,000 for the acreage and buildings in 1971. "So the next best thing is to be next door to them."
The unique compound on 3 acres houses 15 studios, two small galleries, a learning area, a bed-and-breakfast and some apartments. Studios rent for a paltry $125 a month and 1,600-square-foot apartments are $250.
One woman has worked at a studio for 25 years.
"I'm not a high-dollar operator," Allen said. "Money is not my driver ... I don't require a lot."
The bed-and-breakfast - The Inn at the Art Center - was added in 2000 and stands on what was once the chicken farm's silo. The Silo House Restaurant and the nearby Gecko Gallery are part of the inn's operation.
"It's intriguing in its location and development," said Michael Dalby, president of the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce. "It's such a neat collection of buildings that have a history. And the art there is really first class."
