The REEF, an 860,000-square-foot creative hub located in Downtown L.A., is offering up to six months of free space to individuals and organizations affected by the recent fires.

As the community faces the monumental task of recovery, this initiative aims to provide essential support to those in need. The REEF is opening its doors to:

• Artists in need of studio space to continue their creative work.
• Retailers, craftspeople, and small businesses in need of operational spaces for inventory management, product creation, and customer service.

Known for its dynamic and inclusive environment, the REEF caters to the diverse needs of creators, artisans, and small businesses that contribute to the vibrancy of Los Angeles.

This offer highlights the collective strength of the community in rebuilding and rejuvenating after such a devastating event. Those impacted by the fires are invited to fill out a form to share their details, along with their business or studio needs and how the fires have affected them. Submissions will be reviewed, and individuals will be contacted as space becomes available.
