Its is great welcoming warm place. Everyone working there are so nice. They have d coffee shop right outside so you could grab a cup of coffee and go right in the studio and admire all the artwork that is displayed. You can purchase books, stickers and pins. A little place in Jtown and always a great place to go see.

It looks interesting but...it was locked up. Open signs were up, sidewalk sign was out and it was 2 hours before closing. We weren't the only ppl who tried the doors either. Don't know why it was closed but better signage is needed, even if only a note on the door Please note this was Saturday Nov. 22, not during the holiday week.

Remarkable and welcoming art operation in a lovely part of Japantown that I'd never visited before. Pored over their brand new outdoor murals and garden space (quite lovely in many ways!!) as well as the artworks hung in the walls of the high tech mod mixed-use apartment bldg that sits atop the studios. The in-lobby coffeeshop is a tiny-home sized gem, too!

I took my kids and nephews to the Empire Seven Studio: Intro to Spray Can Art event with Talking Walls and it was amazing! The kiddos had so much fun and learned so much! They were well prepared for the on and off drizzles of rain with tents and had gloves and N95 masks for the kids. Great event for the community! Looking forward to the next one.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Empire 7 on our mural - When The Mountain Falls In Love With The Sea (on 1st St. between Bassett and Hensley.) Juan Carlos and Empire 7 were the reason we were able to turn a blank 10,000 ft wall into a beautiful canvas that can be seen while landing at San Jose airport. He was instrumental in finding the artist, helping us figure out the funding, obtaining all the materials and equipment, and overseeing the artists. I highly recommend Empire 7 for any project - big or small. They deliver the highest quality!
