on the First Friday of November 5th we started a new series of art events at Industry Showroom. This should be a very cool collision/cross pollination of cultural groups.We are still in the planning stages for the First Friday December show, but you can rest assured it will be interesting and ongoing.

Why?  More art in downtown San Diego! We’ve perfected the “eating and drinking” part of the downtown San Diego lifestyle. We’ve absolutely mastered the art of yelling “WOOOOO” in the streets at 2am in downtown San Diego. Now we can work a bit on accentuating our personal living spaces with original art.

In a section of Industry Showroom that will play host to a revolving group of artists, craftsmen, photographers, and designers that will present themselves to you as a interior design option. Supporting the arts? Sure, great- but this is ultimately about YOU getting a chance to buy fresh art and design in the early stages of an artists career.

So… let’s do this.

Come by Industry Showroom on Dec15th between 5 and 8 for our part in the Gaslamp Quarter LifeStyle and Design Tour.  There will be artists performing, samples of merchandise and services, incredible sales on limited edition fashion- including Popular Naughty, Essentials, Consuul, Stacie May, Brit Boy, and more.

Then...

Hi.

Welcome to Industry Showroom in downtown San Diego.

What is it?

Simple. 
A big, artistic space with shared offices, a conference room, art gallery and creative industry/fashion retail floor.  Get it?  Cool.  Come by and check it out. OR proceed to explanation 2.

Explanation 2:  This is an 8,000 sq foot industial loft situated right between the Gaslamp Quarter and East Village.  It was built out by the Hard Rock Hotel for when they had their sales office here.  So I took it on (Rex Edhlund) with a partner (Sheila LeMire) and rented out the private rooms to other creative entrepreneurs.  THEN, I put together a retail floor for the fashion and design we create and collaborate on.  An Art Gallery finishes the place out.  Voila!  A cool downtown shared creative space.

But wait... we also have a room you can rent daily for private events and/or conferences. PLUS we have a photography/video studio.  You could hold your special event in downtown San Diego for less than you think.

I know, it's a lot and it isn't a simple answer.

But it's not for simple people.  It's for the creative.

You decide who you are.

Watch for more.

We have a number of events coming up and some of them will be invite-only.  Shoot us your email or "like" us on Facebook to be kept on the guest list.

Industry Showroom is an indie fashion, design, and art workshop and shopping space. 

OPEN to the public!.  Shop in the Gaslamp Quarter!  Downtown San Diego

San Diego Clothing Designers!!

Our unique, interesting space on 6th Avenue next to the Culy Trucking Event Center, 2 blocks from the Convention Center, and nestled in between the ballpark and the Gaslamp Quarter has space for you.

We are surrounded by hotels and the foot traffic down here is fantastic, so we need to take our giant retail floor and turn it into a design feast.  Lara Matthews (of Thread Show fame) described it as a permanant Thread Show and in some ways that is true.  Our goal with this space is to give new businesses a boost and one of our ways is to give up the floor for NO FEE.

If you have merchandise sitting in storage- bring it here.  If you want a place to help build your brand- bring it here.  If you want bragging rights to a cool location- bring it here.  If you have money to spend on independent design and art- bring it here.

We will watch the shop and sell your stuff (or sell you stuff), you just bring what you already have.

NOW... HERE'S some NEWS!!

We are in NO WAY associated with SDonlineradio.  Thank God.

There are a ton of new businesses starting at kitchen tables and being operated out of garages that need to expand and get more exposure.  The jump from garage to full blown store and all of the expenses that come with it are usually too great of a leap. 

Industry Showroom is here to bridge that gap.

Shared office spaces are hardly a new concept, there are hundreds of office suites in San Diego.  Our concept builds on that basic premise, yet Industry Showroom also shares traits with shared retail spaces like Leaping Lotus in Solana Beach.

With our space you get retail floorspace and a private office and/or workshop.  Our concept gives you what you really need to grow a business.  Rents range from $650 for display space to $1100 for an enormous office with counters, shelving, storage, AND retail display space. Internet, electricity, water, and other misc. expenses that can nickel and dime a small business owner to death are all included.  You won't have to sweat the little things, we do that for you.  You can focus on your design, wholesale operations, internet sales, and your on-site retail sales.

Combine that with a community seminar space (which rents for a great price by the way), an art gallery for monthly events. a photography room, a podcast station, a fine art screen print studio, and a curated showfloor of local design talent... you have it all!  It's like "Empire DEPOT" for those that wish to build their creative empire by hand.

It's the smart way
to build your brand.
