Find ArtClub

ArtClub is a membership-based creative coworking studio for Los Angeles artists. Its TikTok bio sums it up in six words: “Like WeWork, but for artists.” Painters, designers, leather crafters, photographers and musicians rent a workstation or a few days a week, store their tools and make work in one shared room instead of a bedroom, a garage or the trunk of a car.

In about a year, it has grown into more than a desk rental. ArtClub hosts workshops, group shows, live painting and pop-ups, and its members show up in each other’s work. For anyone in LA who makes things with their hands, it’s worth following.

What is ArtClub?

ArtClub opened in late summer 2025, after its team renovated their first studio themselves, often cleaning late into the night. It marked its first anniversary in August 2026. The idea is simple: give working artists the routine and community of a shared office, with the space and storage a studio practice actually needs.

There are two memberships. Full-time ($450 a month) includes 7-day access, a designated personal workstation and one four-hour pop-up event a month, such as a pop-up shop or an art or photo exhibition. Part-time ($300 a month) includes access three days a week to the communal workspace and a personal storage shelf for tools and materials. Both are by application.

The studio describes itself as the place “where creatives go to create, not just to be seen.”

A first year in Downtown LA

ArtClub spent its first year in Downtown LA’s Fashion District, among the fabric shops, sewing-machine dealers and wholesale distributors. For artists who sew, print, stitch leather or build sets, that kind of neighborhood puts materials around the corner.

The team has been open about loving it. Its anniversary post thanks the neighbors who were there from day one: Eduardo, who always stopped to ask how the business was going, and Irelanda, who kept the team supplied with Celsius through the renovation. A lot of people write off DTLA. The people who work there tend to see it differently.

The fashion side: Pharaoh Kahn and KOMEH

One of ArtClub’s best-known residents is Pharaoh Kahn, a musician, clothing designer, leather crafter and filmmaker who came to LA from St. Louis. ArtClub profiled him in a three-part Resident Artist Spotlight on TikTok. In it, he tells how he got ghosted by Coach, then went and started his own brand, KOMEH.

KOMEH now runs an Atelier series that teaches leatherworking from scratch. In the first session, on September 26, 2026, each participant made one of KOMEH’s signature everyday objects, working through pattern preparation, cutting, hand stitching, assembly and finishing. ArtClub’s video for the workshop is its most-watched TikTok, with more than 13,000 views.

The next day, ArtClub hosted an eco-printing workshop with Sol y Raíz (@solyraiz). Participants pressed native and cultivated plants into silk to make their own botanical-printed scarves.

Shows, live painting and a magazine

ArtClub’s walls change often. Its October 3, 2026 group show, The Company We Keep, brought together a dozen artists for a night of art, music, film and drinks. The team called it their favorite night in ArtClub’s history.

Painter Drok (@droks_canvas) finished a 75-day painting challenge with a live mural inside the studio. The team also spent eight months making a print magazine about its residents, neighbors and first year. In their own words, they made it with zero graphic design skills and some help from friends.

What’s next for ArtClub

The Company We Keep closed out ArtClub’s first chapter, and the team is now planning its next one. They’re asking LA artists, designers, filmmakers, photographers and musicians what a creative workspace should have, from storage and equipment to hours and neighborhood. If you make things in LA, you can help shape it by filling out their creative workspace survey.
