Over the last few years I have always talked with friends about getting a studio and starting a gallery but we never had the time nor place to do it. Over the last couple of months an opportunity came my way and I jumped on it. My friend Dustin got a new workshop and asked if I wanted to expand with him into more space. We recently finished negotiating with the building owner and with some work I will have a gallery workshop as of May 1st.
We are in the process of building it right now as you can see in the pictures. The space is in the East Village area of San Diego located on 15th between Island and Market in an industrial building. Dustin is my partner on this adventure and currently has his workshop here which is in the pictures above and my space is being built right now to the left. It is about 300sqft not including a loft and has 25ft ceilings and old pain windows. This will be a full functioning studio for myself and art gallery, giving local artist a platform to show there work and also hold events of any kind. Together we have almost 900sqft and will be fixing up the building and space over the end of April and May, along with making a website and blog for our new project.
