General History of the Arts Practise of Jenny Dawson and Greg James
  −
 
  −
• Jenny Dawson and Greg James are founding artists of the J Shed. They have provided stable and reliable tenancies at the J Shed paying full market value rents for their studios.
  −
 
  −
• Their arts businesses have been able to grow over time and infiltrate the fabric of Fremantle culture and society. This was the intent and spirit that initially resulted in these premises being established.
  −
 
  −
• J Shed is a unique and very rare example of what can be achieved on a semi- industrial basis with cooperation between professional practicing artists and Council initiatives and cooperation.
  −
 
  −
• Unfortunately not all of the spaces at the J Shed have been used so productively.
     −
• It has long been a detriment to the business of these two studios and a problem that council chose to reissue leases to unproductive and inactive studios that have lowered the whole tone of the J Shed.
     −
• The fact that Council have undertaken no maintenance on this heritage listed building has led to a general feeling of a rundown and underused space (which is definitely not true for studios 2 and 3 who have continued to run cultural activities and inject much needed finance into the Fremantle economy through the flow through of their endeavours to conduct small businesses within the arts industry.)
