About Mica Studios

(Mai-Kuh)

Nestled in the historic Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles, Mica Studios is more than just a private event space, photo studio and film location, it's a venue where history meets creativity. Housed in a beautifully preserved neoclassical building originally constructed in 1926 as the Southwest Lithograph Company, our space offers a rare blend of architectural elegance and versatile functionality.

Over the decades, this unique 12,000 sq ft venue has hosted a long list of film productions, brand activations, weddings, television shoots, fashion editorials, gallery openings, private celebrations and much more. Whether you're planning your dream wedding in Los Angeles, searching for a modern warehouse event space rental for a unique production, or looking for a photography studio for your next shoot, our indoor/outdoor space blends authentic charm with modern studio amenities.

From natural daylight streaming through our 900+ windows to the spacious open floor plan that adapts to your visions, Mica Studios offers an inspiring setting for every moment.
