I spend at least 40 hours a week in the Papermill and I’m constantly inspired by the neighborhood and the artists. Karyn, the manager(or guru), is completely obsessed with having true artists(not«i have a studio» people) fill the space while expanding the community network. The neighborhood has changed dramatically in the three years since the Papermill has opened, and working there makes me feel that I have power to not only affect my personal aesthetic, but to affect a worthy cause: the coalition of the honest, versus the treacherous.

The Papermill Loft is a blessing for the Kensington community. This large warehouse has an art gallery and theater space on the 1st floor, and the other 4 floors are studio spaces for artists. It’s a safe, friendly environment for artists to collaborate with eachother at an afforable price. Most of the spaces are only a $ 1 per square foot! Plus the rent includes utilities(i.e. electric, security, wifi). I couldn’t be more pleased.
