20x60 Converted Warehouse Meeting Space
was that there were not quite enough chairs for everyone and it got a bit chilly. I'd recommend for a cocktail party or art show, rather than an all day offsite...
Xiscopo S.
Pop Up Gallery and Event Space in SOMA
Set aside the gritty area, the gallery space was a perfect spot for an art presentation. The show I did was for a friend of mine who passed away and thus a posthumous art show was created here. High ceilings, good natural and artificial lighting, clean bathroom and office room...
