Studios are ideal for artists, photographers, writers, architects, digital artists, or similar creatives. Musicians are considered on a case-by-case basis.
We have an amazing group of down-to-earth creatives.
Accessibility:
Our full downstairs space is ADA compliant, including 44"+ wide hallways, ADA-approved hardware, and fully compliant ADA restrooms, as well as ramps with railings. Our 2nd story is only accessible by stairs, but otherwise meets all ADA requirements.
Our teen program will be moving downstairs in Sept, 2026.
Comfort:
Our studios are extremely comfortable. We have three newer HVAC units: one that serves the downstairs and 2 for upstairs. We also have a full building ventilation system to keep the air inside fresh. Upstairs studios all have either a window or a solar tube for natural light. All studios have ceiling fans and track lights. Most studios have steel doors for ultimate privacy. Our building is cleaned weekly, but we do ask that artists be tidy and help to pitch in, especially cleaning up after themselves in shared spaces to keep the space enjoyable for all.
Safety:
Our entire facility is safe and regularly inspected by the Fire and Health Departments. Our fire extinguishers are serviced annually, and we have more extinguishers and smoke detectors than are required by law. We meet or exceed all local codes and take great pride in that. For that reason, surge protectors must be used on all outlets, and we do not allow open flames, smoking, candles, or incense in the building. Additionally, we have exterior cameras, interior cameras in gallery spaces, and a dual zone alarm system.
If you are interested in joining our community, please email us to find out more and get on the waitlist. Please include your website, IG, or samples of your work, along with an explanation of why you would like to join the ArtHatch family.
Prince’s Art Gallery is owned by Prince Kofi Sefa-Boakye. Prince is an attorney, an entrepreneur, and an African Art dealer for Fine African Arts. Prince has been trading African Art since 2024, when he met a talented artist in Kumasi, Ghana: Paul Adjei. When he saw Paul’s work, he was stunned and asked one simple question: How come there aren’t any African (Fine) Arts in the US? This question piqued his entrepreneurial spirit and led him to solve the problem by opening his own African Fine Art Gallery.
Prince’s Art Gallery is a vibrant and dynamic space that houses Paul Adjei’s finest artworks from West Africa.
Each corner of his gallery offers something unexpected, from acrylic paintings to 3D mixed media art. Prince’s mission is to help Westerners experience Ghanaian Fine Arts.
Paul Adjei (ah-jay) is from Kumasi, Ghana-also known as the Ashanti Kingdom of Ghana, the most powerful tribe in West Africa. Paul's love for Art began from his early education at Datus Complex School in Accra, but his gift blossomed at Ghanatta College of Art and Design where he painted murals for commercial businesses. Paul's mission is to be the greatest African painter of all time, and to have the same name recognition as Pablo Picasso. Painting is the most precious gift that God has given to him, and he wants to bring it in the homes of all of mankind so all can come closer to God, His Maker, The Greatest Painter in the Universe! Paul's style can be best described as "bold and meticulous" capturing African beauty and strong Ghanaian values, which are Faith, Hard work, and Family. His style for 3D painting, mixed media, and acrylic painting have made him well-renown in Ghana and now San Diego, CA. Many of his clients around the world have said that his artworks "talk" to them and have healed them of past trauma or remind them of childhood memory. Paul's artwork speaks all languages and breaks down all color barriers.
Paul Adjei is a Christian, Husband, and Father of the three beautiful children: Everlasting Ama Frimpong, Lewis Frimpong Kyenkyenhene, and Perfect Nkunim Amoakoa Adjei.
Life as a painter (especially with his gift) and as a father of three children in Ghana is extremely difficult. It's a miracle, he says, that he is still able to feed his family and paint masterpieces for people to love and enjoy. However, he truly credits this miracle to his wife, Margaret, who allows him to express his God-given gifts while paying the bills, raising their children, and nourishing his tummy with her famous Jollof rice.
"Margaret, I love you. And thank you for believing in me and creating the greatest gifts of my life: my children. Love, Paul Adjei"
One artwork sold helps Paul feed his family, keep his children in school, and maintain his love for Art.
N.C. Winters works as an artist, constantly drawing, painting, or creating something daily. Winters creates art exploring the subconscious both as a method for creation, and the subject of his various works, which often have a strong emphasis on the figure and identity in general.
He recently relocated his studio to Distinction/ArtHatch studio 2. Come check out his spot on second Saturdays. It is a true feast for your eyes.
I'm a bit of a Nomad Artist who grew up in the UK and spent a couple of years in Norway before moving to Albuquerque, San Diego, Pasadena, and then settling in Seattle. Now I've returned to Southern California to paint and create my experiences of traveling the world and exploring other fascinating cultures. I love color and patterns, and using my imagination to create my art. I use all kinds of medium but mostly acrylics and lots of intuition.
I am old enough to have had my first experiences with photography at a time when black and white imagery was still a dominant form. Ansel Adams, the Westons and others were at the peak of their careers and Life and The Saturday Evening Post magazines were touchstones for the cultural life of the country. Once I started printing my own work in 1968, I was hooked. I have ever since been fascinated with the possibilities inherent in a medium that deals with time, light, shape and form. It allows me a way to see in new and different ways. It has always been a way for me to make sense of the world, and to focus on things and ideas of substance.
Born and educated in England, Charles Ingham moved to San Diego in 1982. A professor of English at Palomar College, he has always been interested in the intersection of literature and the visual arts, his photography seeking to transgress the traditional boundaries between the verbal and the visual.
A selection of his photo-narratives are on display in Studio 3.
I have been painting since 2002. I am a self-taught abstract expressionist painter. My motivation comes from my love of color and abstract compositions and mixed media. I also enjoy paper crafts, such as making original cards, junk journals, bookbinding, and jewelry-making. I offer individual and group classes.
Artist Statement:
Abstract art represents the workings of the inner being; it is an expression of self, born of experiences, desires, hopes, and dreams. Art seeks to satisfy a longing to be understood and accepted. Art communicates when words dare not or cannot; Art is life's forces screaming to be released, embraced, and appreciated.
Located right inside our gallery is Cinema Escape Rooms. An escape room is a live-action game where you and your team are locked in a themed room, and you need to work together to find clues and solve awesome puzzles before your 60 minute timer runs out! Can you escape?
ArtHatch Escape Rooms was established in 2016. It was initially opened by Melissa W. and Sam P., the founders of the ArtHatch Arts Complex: A non profit organization that exhibits artists from around the globe, rents studios and exhibition space to local artists, and has a free teens arts program.
They successfully ran the escape room for nearly 3 years before the decision was made in July of 2019 to sell the business to a neighboring escape room company in Escondido: Clue Avenue Escape Rooms. Both businesses were later purchased by Cinema Escape Rooms. All four rooms have recently been redone! If you played before come back to play our new games.

He enjoys drawing everywhere he goes, ignoring people as long as he can until someone inevitably taps on his shoulder to join in on the conversation at whatever bar or restaurant he so happens to find himself in, lost in his own world.

On December 14th, 2018, Reynoso The California Oso (Moises Reynoso) drove down from Escondido, CA and Sonya V (Sonya Reynoso) drove up from Paradise Hills to cross paths at a San Diego Hip Hop show called "Hope For Homeless" featuring local emcees from San Diego County. Little did they know that their love of hip hop would form into a marriage 5 years later between two lyrical emcees and the birth of GoodFood Fellowship. Sonya V became "Honeycomb Sone" in memory of her Nana who was known by her family as "Honey" and Moises remained as Reynoso The California Oso for how much a bear loves his honey. Together they are not only dedicated to a lifelong journey of love with one another, but by forming GoodFood Fellowship, they are on a mission to provide good food for the soul with their music and creative endeavors. Sharing a business as Holistic Health Practitioners, GoodFood Fellowship is aware that the music we consume can affect our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
As they near the completion of their first album, they have been giving crowds around San Diego County a sample of what's to come. With influences from the 90s boom bap era, the flavors of their melodies, rhythms and lyricism are the perfect recipe for serving the people what they've been craving.

Ramzi Jamal Shalabi (b. 1987) is a self-taught multimedia artist whose work revolves mostly around music, visual art and cinema. He believes in using the resources available at hand and following his own intuitive impulses. For him, art is not about intellectualization, it is a natural process of letting the unconscious speak, like having a dream. To ask for meaning is to misunderstand the process. A lifelong automatic drawer/doodler and reader of books on painters such as Dali, he finally opened up to making paintings in 2020, with the final push towards painting coming from the discovery of the artist Jack Whitten and his roommate letting him know that she had a few cans of paint in the garage that he could use if he wanted to try. Since then he has steadily been creating paintings, always taking a fresh step in a new direction. His influences range from the morphogenetic field, religion & ritual, his Syrian father and Irish-Hungarian mother, his maternal grandmother, who was a notable abstract artist herself, dreams, memories of life, and nature. He is a Pisces rising and shares a birthday with Madame Blavatsky and Sir Mix-A-Lot. The Modern Composer John Cage and the Abstract Expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat died on Ramzi's fifth and first birthdays, respectively. For whatever it's worth. He also shares the same Neptune natal placement as Pablo Picasso.
