Visiting Us
Devil Mask Studio is a queer owned and operated Shibari studio located in downtown Los Angeles that strives to create a safe(r) space that respects, celebrates, and explores the variety of gender, sexual expressions, and identifications.
Getting to the studio
Devil Mask Studio is located in the Broadway Arts Tower in the Historic Core of Downtown Los Angeles. The building’s entrance is at 529 Lindley Place, Los Angeles, CA 90013, essentially ‘behind’ Donut Friend. Lindley Place is a paved alley between Hill and Broadway – the alley is well-lit and monitored 24/7 by both cameras and a very friendly security staff. Look for the “Broadway Arts Tower” banners.
How Do I Get In?
Our entrance is on Lindley Place – dial 305 on the call box to be buzzed in. Take the elevator to the third floor and hang a right at the T intersection – we’re in Suite 305.
Please give yourself extra time to arrive. Traffic into and around Downtown Los Angeles is notoriously congested. As a general rule, doors open fifteen minutes before the event’s start time. Please arrive on time – once doors are closed, they’re closed! Our small teams cannot effectively run their events while continually staffing the door. Not sure when the doors close? All ticketed attendees receive timing & access information as a part of their confirmation email.

Transit & Parking
We are adjacent to the Pershing Square Metro Station and multiple pay lots. South Hill Parking is a multi-level ramp adjacent to the International Diamond Center, enter at 6th and Lindley. 504 Hill Street is a surface lot adjacent to the Metro, enter on Hill Street. Street parking is available on Broadway (and generally free on Sundays).
Accessibility
While our building is ADA-compliant, that can mean a lot of different things. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us to arrange accommodations.
Navigating the Building
The door on Lindley Place is a non-powered ‘pull’ door with a small threshold. There is a short ramp down to the lobby where the elevator is located. The elevator’s call buttons are approximately 40” from the floor and raised.
Bathrooms
There is a non-gendered, wheelchair-accessible bathroom next to the elevators. The bathroom is up an approximately six-foot ramp and opens via a non-powered push door. There are additional gendered restrooms on the floor – these are located up a set of three steps and have private stalls.
In The Studio
Entry to the studio is via a set of non-powered push doors. There is a small threshold to enter the space. We have ample bench seating as well as an area adjacent to the benches for folks using wheelchairs. Benches or floor time not for you? We have two camp chairs rated for 425 lbs available as well as numerous cushions and bolsters, and four folding chairs.
TRAVELING FROM OUT OF TOWN
LA is a great place to visit – and not just because of us! If you’re planning to visit for an intensive (or a high school reunion with extracurriculars), here’s what we recommend.

Lodging
All of these hotels are within a three (city) block radius – approximately a seven-minute walk.
LA Athletic Club – a gorgeous Beaux-Arts building with impressive fitness facilities (as the name would imply) and several solid bars.
The Biltmore – an icon of Los Angeles. Built in 1923, you’ve almost certainly seen it in a movie.
Citizen M DTLA – the new kid on the block, their lobby features Andrew’s favorite neon art in DTLA.
Sheraton Grand Los Angeles – a perfectly cromulent hotel and very convenient if you plan to use the train to get around the city.
