`THE HIDE-OUT !

this is where all artists gather to chat and paint together, a ran-down looking building located through an alley. they also have nude modeling here, in which is hard to find anywhere else, making it a pretty popular place. kept under the radar because it isn't an official business and many of the people who come and work there are avid weed smokers, it's spread from artist to artist instead of advertising. kept casual and quite nice inside, it makes up for the shitty graffiti sign that hangs in front of the door; every wall is painted a different shade of color and covered by brilliant art pieces, there are at least seven lounges all together holding a coffee table, comfortable vintage love seats and chairs. holding five average sized rooms for personal modeling and then one large room for group sessions, you have to pay to be allowed to take part or work with a model. they also sell great quality art supplies at a low price, and everyone who part takes is part of the family.
