 Where do I park?
  • There is street parking along Glendale Blvd and N Toluca St., and Douglas St.
  • There is a large parking lot next to the Theater, on Glendale Blvd (not owned or operated by the Theater).
  • The parking lot is operated very 'rooflessly': you need to bring $5 inside an envelope and write your car's model and license plate on the envelope before you drop it inside the lot's mailbox.

What do I bring?
  • Your beautiful self and a bag full of longings for painting 🎨. We take care of everything else.
  • We're roofless and that means we show up somewhere and paint. We recommend you to wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on. It will happen.
  • If you already have a painting practice going, bring your beloved paintbrushes. We know the feeling.
What are Roofless classes like?
  • We give lots of instruction, not just feedback, on technical elements but also about the creative process so you can take down those blocks that affect our creative confidence and pick up new supportive habits.
  • We model the whole painting process so you can get visual examples of what we're talking about and apply them to your own work.
  • We challenge you to paint things through your own visual experience. You have a painting style and we already love it. We want you to do more with it through our lessons.
  • We're a community. We provide a relaxed, safe, nonjudgmental, supportive and requirement-free environment.
  • We love recommending local art shows and museum exhibits to awaken and widen our sense of perception.
