Our History


DC Arts Studios
was established in 1979 as an artist co-op under the name A. Salon, Ltd. by George Koch (who later went on to found Artomatic). The organization hosted affordable arts studios in three locations in DC: Downtown, Georgetown, and Takoma. The Takoma building was acquired in 1985 and has been a flashpoint for artists of all disciplines ever since.
