This is a share in my artist's studio for a professional who works outside the studio 5 days a week. e

This is an expansive loft in a unique, close-knit community of artists, filmmakers, and other creatives. I live a few doors down and work days in the studio.

The fully furnished studio has 22’ ceilings and an upstairs loft. The upstairs loft is about 400 sq’, and has a queen bed, 3 dressers, a seating area and desk, and 10' ceilings. It has it's own bathroom and a large former darkroom to use as a closet, storage or IT room.

Smoking is not allowed inside the studio, but there are many outdoor areas available.

The main floor is 1600’ and has a fully equipped kitchen at the rear of the studio and a living area on a platform at the front where there is a huge window. Between them is the studio area where I work as a painter and sculptor. I use only acrylic paint and my sculptures are generally assemblages of existing objects.

We have our own restaurant and bar onsite for a good and not-too-expensive meal and a wide selection of craft beers and liquor. It’s a great space to meet the community as well. There is a small park on the 22-acre site.

The studio complex is on a large gated property with 16 buildings and a large community of 500+ artists. Our studio is up a flight of stairs and not a good fit if you are not able to climb stairs.

There is off-street parking, a security guard at night and the lot entrance has a guard on weekend evenings.

The location is fantastic. It is located just a mile or two from Chinatown, the Geffen Contemporary, the Arts District, Little Tokyo, and downtown LA.

There is an awesome range of restaurants nearby, with many offering take-out and delivery. At the high end, David Chang’s Major Domo is a short walk for weekend takeout. We are near Homage and Highland Park Brewery and Nick's. Or you can get great Mexican food and tortas right on the corner.
We are also close to The Broad, MOCA, the JAM, and major galleries like Hauser and Wirth.

With easy access to the 5, 10, 2, 101, and 110 fwys, the major studios and locations from Pasadena to Santa Monica are easily accessible. Nearby are two parks, including the Los Angeles Historical Park, where you can walk, stretch out, or picnic. There is a great bike path along a renewing stretch of the LA River in Frogtown that connects to Silverlake, Atwater Village, and Griffith Park. The 76 bus and Dash stop outside the front door, Union Station is a little over a mile away, and the Gold Line is a 20-minute walk. It can take you to the beach in 45 minutes and to Hollywood in about 20 minutes.

The Brewery is the largest Artists’ Colony in the US and has an amazing creative community with 300 live/work studios and some 500 residents. It is home to many well-known LA artists, film folks, and other creatives like Diavolo Dance Company and the Two-Bit Circus.
