This is by far my favorite place to hang out in Las Vegas, so much that I rented a studio space upstairs so I could be here all the time. Its a magical place full of interesting people. It really has so much to offer, Its a creative mecca, a gathering place, a community, a revival! Its especially the perfect place to meet and network with other young creative types. The building is an old Medical center so all the old medical rooms are now galleries/boutiques/studios/offices/meeting rooms. My own personal studio is the old Maintenance room, thus we named it "Maintenance studios" Anyway, I digress.
Here's a short list of some of the things EA offers there is probably much more...
*The Beat Cafe, where you can grab a healthy breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack/smoothie coffee or beer (booze after 7pm).
*Listen to great music on the record player.
*Get your bike fixed at the Bike Co-OP
*Do some yoga--second floor yoga studio.
*Read a zine from the zine library-- Main floor, common area.
*Get a haircut in the second floor salon.
*check out the live music/poetry/comedy/open mic stuff that happens at night at the beat.
*join the ukulele club (ukuladieslv.blogspot.com)
*Check out the burlesque hall of fame on weekends, get some cool burlesque swag from days of yore.
*study/work/have a meeting in the usr library (second Floor)
*walk around and see what kinds of new art is up on display in the dozens of galleries throughout the building.
*Get your own studio space to show your work/do your work/sell your work!!!
It's really a must see place for visitors and for young artsy locals this should be one of your regular haunts. I LOVE EA!!!!
