Spire Studios

As of June 2019, I have officially stepped away from the building formerly known as "Fun Services" and "Spire Studios." 15+ years was a good run. I'm proud of it, and I'm proud of the contributions we made to both the creative community of Beacon and the artists who spent time here. I learned more than I ever could have imagined, met some truly talented artists, and did my best to advocate for the needs of a community I'm proud to have helped bring together. Cheers Beacon! Thank you for your enduring support of the space (and its legacy) through good times and bad. The stories are endless... the memories priceless.

Many of you know that the building has been slated for demolition. D-Day is still unknown, but until then will continue to operate under the name "Beekman Art Center."

Thanks again to all,

Todd Spire
