This was such a neat place for artist studios. Not really a…read moreplace to go visit but if you are an artist they have a neat space! I visited a friend here in her studio and from what she told me the rent is really reasonable! It looks like a small warehouse but inside it looks like a house. Many rooms and a kitchen open to all upstairs. The owner lives in the other half of the building. The only downer is parking is tight. I think they only have 3 parking spots and parking on the street is hard because you are around a bunch of other warehouses where giant supply trucks pull in. But if you are an artist keep this place in mind and keep checking for anything that opens up! Only 3 stars because of the location and parking.

I dropped by the "Art Gym," with prior permission to come and walk through. I met a man who was…read moremanager while I was there and he encouraged me to join. The guy who walked me through was very nice. Robin emailed me and must have forgotten that she is who gave me permission to come by. I have rented at Regus offices for over ten years and have offices in DC, Georgia and Denver. She actually asked me to come in and meet some people after I had already toured the facility and went online to make application. She was very interested, and then I was very sick with a high fever and couldn't go right away. She sent me an email and said after further review, I wasn't a "fit." I truly believe there is some discrimination, but I am not sure what it was whether she just changed her mind for no reason or made an otherwise unfair decision. I can't think of any reason they wouldn't want to rent and no excuse was given. Very disappointed in the unprofessionalism.

Another free gallery in the Santa Fe Arts District. They had a couple different artists on when I…read morevisited. Some very intriguing, modern, realistic art. Unlike some of the other galleries in this area, this is set up like a traditional gallery--paintings spaced out and well presented. Easy to view everything. Not set up like some type of variety or art shop. As I've said in other similar reviews, near a few other galleries in this fading arts district, so you can visit a few different types of art. No real restaurants nearby. But worth a stop.

Bitfactory Gallery fronts the Bitfactory Studios complex which contains 15 art studios on two…read morelevels plus an additional rental exhibition space (the Garage) in the rear. The gallery is owned and managed by Bill Thomason. He curates cutting edge work from local, national, and international creators. Bill consistently puts together challenging group shows and finds remarkable exhibits from individual contributors. The gallery consists of a front and back room offering a good amount of exhibition space. Bill does a good job of hanging and displaying the work so that it's easy to evaluate. The art studio building is accessible from a side door of the gallery. Many of the studio artists open their spaces for visits from the public on First Fridays. This is definitely one of the most consistently interesting galleries on Santa Fe Drive. You should certainly check it out during any visit to the Art District.

I will be the first one to tell you that I am NOT an artist. However, I had a vision of a clay…read moresculpture (vase) that I could see myself building. I always enjoy trying new things but art classes always seem over whelming for me. The staff was welcoming and they answered all of my many (and I'm sure, basic) beginning artist questions. They were so helpful throughout the process. My greatest apprehension was the glaze and how much different it looked on my piece versus coming out of the kiln. The environment is clean, friendly, welcoming and I will DEFINITELY be going back to practice sometime soon. Best of all, I have a beautiful new piece that I made all by myself on my shelf to look at.

If you care about art (and if you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this), I can't imagine why you…read morewould entrust it to anyone else. Steve and Rob approach every project with a genuine enthusiasm that makes every encounter a delight, and their combined technical expertise and attention to detail enhance the final product in the most beautiful ways. As a student many, many years ago, I almost dreaded finishing a drawing or painting because I found the process of matting and framing so tedious; now I look forward to spending time with Rob and Steve (and trusty office assistants Rafi and Amigo) because they make the process so much fun. Whether it's a humble poster or a priceless oil painting, your art will get the generous attention and close-reading it deserves, and you'll love it even more than you did before.

I reached out to them about framing several high value pieces, one very large. They were unable to…read moreget the supplies needed to frame my large piece and rather than discuss assisting me with the others, they merely wished me luck. In a follow up email, I expressed my surprise at their indifference to the many pieces I needed framed; their further response was exceptionally rude and dismissive. For premier framers, I thought they would be enthusiastic about assisting me with my art collection but I was treated as an annoying child. I wonder if I would've been treated with a modicum of respect had I been a man. Will never grace them with my business.
