Cluster of converted rice silos and industrial buildings turned artist studios. Murals and textured walls everywhere; second-Saturday open-studio events draw crowds.

What works here
Walk the perimeter — every wall is shootable. Industrial textures pair well with high-contrast fashion looks. Second Saturdays bring foot traffic; weekday mornings are nearly empty.
