This is one of the several somewhat legendary warehouse studios in Fruitvale. Most residents are professional artists, and there is a community group, SOFA, the South Of Fruitvale Artists, which puts on monthly gallery shows and parties. Many of Oakland's most significant artists have live/work studios in the neighborhood.
The Dutch Boy used to be a Dutch Boy brand paint factory, and still has huge tanks and pipes everywhere. It's a community of over ten buildings, and has been undergoing serious renovations. It's also smeared with lead from years of paint manufacturing.
