open source studio and gallery
Venue description: the open source studio and gallery is a live/work storefront space on the avenue for the arts (south division ave). the space is geared towards acoustic musical performance, but has the ability to also act as a showcase gallery. the space itself is wide open with high ceilings, so large scale work is welcome and encouraged. the space was created with the intention of giving local artists and musicians a place to gather, collaborate, perform, and synergize. the only rule is that anyone who performs, creates or displays art, or visits the space conduct themselves with a positive and respectful attitude that is also reflected in their work.
