Studio Events

D. M. Gremlin Studios was created to foster an artistic community. In keeping with the legacy of studio founder, the late D. M. Gremlin, our mission is:

** To offer affordable and well-equipped facilities where musicians, photographers, models, and other artists can bring their inspirations to life;
** To become a gathering place where artists can meet fellow creators and share knowledge in both similar and differing media;
** To encourage and help make possible for every artistic vision to expand beyond its ever-imagined potential.

To these ends, we organize and host a variety of community and educational events. We are proud to host a monthly Studio Open House event, and a wide range of photography workshops from beginner level to advanced lighting techniques, with instruction by master photographer Adam Chilson, internationally-renowned bodypainter and makeup artist Lisa Berczel of Battledress Paint-n-Body, and studio owner Wendy Levin.

Anyone who would like to be included in our 1-2x monthly emailed announcements of studio news and events, please feel free to contact us at studio@dm-gremlin.com. All emails are written and sent personally, email addresses are never shared or sold, and anyone who no longer wishes to receive our announcements will be removed from our list immediately upon request.

Studio events are also announced and discussed on an ongoing basis on our forums. Feel free to browse and/or register for the forums for event announcements, photos, and videos from our happenings!

Studio Open House - deviantMEET Nights

For over three years running, D. M. Gremlin Studios has set aside one night a month to host this photography and art community event. Each month's Open House also doubles up as a deviantMEET event for So-Cal deviantART site members.

For those who wish to visit in person prior to booking, this event provides the opportunity for tours of our recording and photography studios. Open House allows those interested in D. M. Gremlin Studios to view the facilities not just as a collection of rooms and equipment, but as a living creative space with its potentials in action.

Each month's event is unique, built upon the collaborative creative energies of those who attend. Every Open House will include studio tours, open photo shooting, industry networking, portfolio sharing, and social time in a relaxed, professional studio environment. And additionally, we'll sometimes plan and announce featured themes or activities, which have in the past included art exhibitions, bbq's, photography workshops, bodypainting demonstrations, and live music performances.

There is no admission charge to attend the Open House events. Friends and clients are encouraged to stop by. Anyone interested in the studio who has never been here before is respectfully required to RSVP at least 48 hours in advance of the event .

Studio Open House scheduling and information can be found at the Open House web page.
