People need a place to gather, where all of the senses can be engaged. A Place is a space for such an encounter, guided by a sensorial experience of being present.

Each site is for re-connecting and re-charging, within a tailor-made environment in conjunction with curated happenings.

A Place n.VI., 2016–ongoing

Founded by Linn in 2016, Blue Roof Studios is a multidisciplinary art hub inside a former church in South Central Los Angeles. It is home to 10 artists’ studios, a communal kitchen and multi-purpose workshop space. By providing artists with affordable, flexible studios and public exhibition space, Linn seeks to expand the number of artistic opportunities for LA-based creative practitioners. Blue Roof is committed to supporting community initiatives and fostering a meaningful dialogue in a non-traditional cultural venue by hosting free events and exhibitions that explore such issues as access, diversity, and artists’ roles within the broader ecology of the city.
