We’re so lucky to have a place and org for artists and creators to be and share….and Local Color is wonderful at what they’re doing and bringing to the community….and when I say We’re lucky, I’m talking about everyone who lives in the South Bay and has access to what local Color is doing. Today we met artists, had hand painted signs made, got to create custom shirts, and of course supported the arts.

Such a unique setting, this. It rapidly became one of my favorite places in the city to merely drop by because there was always something going on at local color, even if I was subscribed to their mailing list and was aware of their events in advance. Here is where you can show your local artists some love. Even if you never thought of yourself as someone who appreciates art, there is a little something for everyone. Make a point of visiting this blessed location. You won't be sorry.

Definitely worth checking! Found this place by chance while walking on the city with a friend. We were actually lost looking for a nearby bar where our friends were and ended up finding Local Color. The colors of the art inside and the people playing games got our attention. We entered and stayed there for 15-30min because it was almost closing, amazing place for those who enjoy street art, colors, graffiti and art in general. Would love to visit again with more time.

It's a great place to hang out! How often do you get to paint the flames on Thoros's flaming sword to chill? You could play a few board games or street fighter, read a few books or just watch the artists at work.
