Artist Venue + Incubator

Imagine placing a blank canvas in the middle of a dynamic, rapidly growing cultural epicenter. Imagine a safe hub where today�s diverse, forward-thinking, multi-faceted and self-producing artists could connect and support one another. Imagine a creative launching pad where emerging artists grow and share with the local Los Angeles Community.

 

          That canvas lies at 799 Towne Avenue.

               In the 18th Century, it was the Paris Salon. 

                    In the 1960�s, Warhol had The Factory.

                         Now, Los Angeles has Towne Hall.    

Diving head first into the art revitalization of downtown Los Angeles, we are opening the doors to 

TOWNE HALL

a new venue and meeting place for multi-medium & multi-cultural creatives in the Los Angeles community.



Towne Hall, a beautiful 2,000 sqft. warehouse will serve as a job generator and home base for self employed artists craving a territory to call their own. With way below market value space rental, self motivated artists now have the means and opportunity to create and profit from their work.
