The document discusses different types of spaces that arts educators are asked to teach in, including shared spaces, abandoned spaces, and having no dedicated space at all. It notes that space is often undefined, budget constraints limit options, and past practices guide future space allocation. Issues with different space types include safety, security, lack of storage, and restrictions on computer or supply use. The conclusion advocates finding common ground and knowing when to request improved facilities.
