Arty Facts #1: Temple Art Lofts
Vallejo’s Temple Art Lofts is located in the heart of downtown Vallejo’s burgeoning Arts and Entertainment District. Collectively, the project creates a true community of artists living and working in the heart of Vallejo’s Arts and Entertainment District.
This community of artists grew out of the historic preservation and adaptive reuse of the 1917 Masonic Temple and 1872 City Hall. These historic buildings are home to 29 artists live/work lofts, community art studio, grand performance hall and over 6,000 square feet of ground-floor art / retail space. It is a key catalyst project in the revitalization of downtown Vallejo.
The project features artist studio space and a fully renovated performance hall. Future plans may include: Ground floor retail space will include a café and office space for nonprofit arts organizations.
