It's in the lesser known neighorhood of Langdon in NE DC (south of Brookland). The building itself is historic and giant. It's well kept maintaining its old charm. Inside are art studios for a collection of DC small businesses and creatives. Twice a year they open the warehouse to the public to showcase each studio's work. As you wander throughout the building, talk to the artists, enjoy the snacks they lay out in each room, and get to know their stories. Many of them are native to this city and express their perspectives through their beautiful art.

Jared and Por are fantastic! I've shot there multiple times and each time Jared met me at the location, he made sure we had everything we needed. A separate dressing room, (which also could be used for photos). Coffee, drinks, and snacks are made available as well. There is wonderful lighting equipment, although, the natural light is so abundant, I mainly used lighting to fill in shadows.

However, as a subscribing member I have space, great light, other artists to interact with - for so much less then I'd be paying for a cramped space by myself.

I went to the Saturday Moves class with my two children of 5 and 7. We all enjoyed it very much…read more It is scheduled for 90 minutes, but the time flew by. Matthew was a fun, energetic, patient teacher. Even when my kids and a few others were running around, it did not bother him one bit. I really enjoyed partnering with my son and daughter to create a dance or set of movements. You do not have to be an experienced dancer to enjoy the class, as the movements are very easy to follow and create. I broke into minimal sweat and felt like I had completed a light workout after 90 minutes. Good for all ages and levels or fitness. This is a good class for families, seniors, and kids all at the same time.

But, I def had fun none the less. Parking was super easy to find and it was a pretty cool turnout. It's an amazing place to take photos. I'd def come again, just for that alone.

Always passes thru the building but never been inside. Coming inside, be ready to immerse yourself in art. There is 2 levels inside the building. It's very cool to walk around the different exhibits. Upstairs has this really cool stage with a nice backdrop. The building has a very retro appearance, but the art inside is really diverse with many different art. There is at least 1 staff present inside the building, but they are mostly there to answer any of your questions. If you come here, please know that photography is fine to be taken here. Not sure about private events / photo shoots. If you come here, it takes about an hour to see everything unless you move faster around the exhibits.
