Above ground The main castle area will be a fully restored historic space, equipped with the contemporary technology of the Free Cities for water, lighting, and other basic utilities. The downstairs area serves as a flexible space for art exhibitions, fashion shows, galas, and other events. If so desired, it can be rented out to create a revenue stream. A small bar space is available during regular gallery hours and can be used for food and beverage service during other events.
This space is managed by a new offshoot of the Arts Restoration Committee. In addition to managing the downstairs space, the upper floors will be converted into artists' lofts with the intention of providing residencies for new and upcoming craftspeople and artists. The intent is to fold in Aqualia's artistic strengths along with those of Cadens and Libertas. These lofts will have a small bedroom area and communal kitchen space for those who do not wish to live in Aqualia itself (a stipend will be provided if need be.) The residencies run from 1 to 3 years in length, and are meant to be include fine arts, decorative arts, and applied arts. For disciplines that need specialized equipment (ex. pottery kilns), the new offshoot facilitates arrangements within Aqualia.
