Studio A Events

Host your next gathering in a bright daylight studio in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. Studio A sits on the 8th floor of our Santee Street building, with a full wall of west-facing windows, 12 ft ceilings, and an 18′ × 18′ white cyclorama wall. The open, sun-filled room is a natural fit for intimate gatherings, workshops, seated dinners, showers, creator meetups, brand days, and small receptions.

Even daylight keeps everyone looking their best, and the cyc doubles as a built-in photo backdrop — a clean, seamless wall your guests can shoot against all evening. Need a warmer feel as the sun drops? The west-facing light carries the room right through golden hour.

Planning a photo or video shoot instead? Book at production rates on the Studio A page — both listings share one availability calendar, so the space is never double-booked.
