Blue Studios

I’ve paid a visit to the Blue Studios a couple of times and impressed with the wide array of artists that occupy the space. Every now and again, the studios hold art openings, which gives each artist the opportunity to show off new and/​or old work to friends and family.
Again, it’s a relatively great space in that you get to meet many of your contemporaries and various types of artists as well (i.e., photographers, sculptors, etc.), which makes for wonderful networking opportunities.
Unfortunately, there are a few downsides to this place:
1) Labyrinth of studios: Great for the artists to have a space yet a bit confusing for visitors weaving their way through various entrances and corridors to see their artist friend or family member.
2) Rental fees: From what I’ve heard, rental fees are a bit on the pricey side (considering that there are many studio rentals for significantly less, about $ 200 less).
3) Parking: Enough said. After all, it is SF!
If you have the opportunity to visit an artist’s studio or interested in the space to create your own studio, make sure you check out the next opening! Another unfortunate thing, they don’t have a website but check out
