Building Globally, Creating Locally.

WHO WE ARE

A purpose-driven community hub designed to foster authentic, world-class creative expression. Our vibrant multi-functional space centers locally led initiatives that shape the global landscape of fine art, music, technology, and performance art.

WHERE WE ARE

Nestled on a 7-acre complex, three blocks from the waterfront, our campus re-imagines the site to one of California’s oldest Cotton Mills. The historic brick lofts host 12 artist studios, two photography studios, and a 3,000 sqft. co-working space. Our overall warehouse footprint stretches 142,000 sqft. of interior.
