Artists began by illegally occupying these buildings and experimenting with many alternative means to show their art. The Art Dock was one of these venues. As the community grew the city legalized their settlements, and artists became the "Golden Carrot" leading people to live in downtown. The community flourished during the 1984 Olympics, but declined there after when to cost of legalizing lofts became prohibitive to the artists. The Art Dockuments record this shifting landscape.
