Company Background
In 2014, The Studio Door an interdisciplinary visual arts gallery dedicated to the creative marketplace opened. The gallery is nationally known for its annual exhibitions, The Crow Show and PROUD+, as well as its continuous support of local artists.
As an S-Corporation, The Studio Door leads by example as a for-profit business while encouraging artists to participate in creative commerce. 4,000 artists have exhibited and participated professional development programs..
The Studio Door operates in the heart of the Hillcrest neighborhood. The 4,300 sq foot storefront contains a sprawling art gallery surrounded by 16 working artist studios.
Behind The Studio Door is “Mural Alley.” In 2010, the alley boasted an incredible mural by renown artist Shepard Fairey (now obscured by new development). Almost a decade later, local muralists have taken up the call to enrich the neighborhood. The Studio Door and Hillcrest Business Association have continued the expansion of Mural Alley with rope lights and the monthly First Thursday Walk in Art celebration.
The Studio Door was awarded a Nicky Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts by the LGBTQ community and an Artie Award by Mission Federal ArtWalk. Additional recognition came from California’s Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and Assemblymember Chris Ward for community service in the arts.
