  • Under current Los Angeles City Covid-19 restrictions, we are able to return to regular operations and full capacity in our space. However, Covid-19 is not over, especially for those that are not vaccinated. We encourage our guests to get vaccinated and to review Los Angeles County’s COVID-19 Guidance for Event Venues & Cultural Institutions. Additional guidance can be found from the City of Los Angeles here.

    Our current COVID policy:

    Masks are optional for those who are fully vaccinated. Vaccination status should be proven via physical or digital vax card + matching photo ID before entering the space. We will work together with all rental clients to establish a system to check for vaccine status at entry.

    Masks are required indoors, except when eating or drinking, for unvaccinated guests or guests who cannot prove their vaccination status.

    We recommend those who are working at an event wear a high filtration mask (KN94, KN95 or N95) during their shifts, however they are not required. If you would like our staff to remain masked during your event, please notify us when confirming your booking details or send a reminder to booking@lint.studio.

    Please note these policies are subject to change depending on current COVID conditions and local government guidance. The onsite manager for your booking will review current policies and practices prior to your event or production.

  • Guests are responsible for leaving LINT in the condition it was provided and paying in full to repair or replace any damage that occurred while you or your guests are using the space.

    Your booking should include all hours you will be present in the space, including load-in and load-out. If you need additional time the day-of, please speak to your onsite manager who has full discretion to approve or deny your request.

    Additional hours which are pre-arranged with the onsite manager will be charged at the original hourly rental rate.

    Additional time in the space that is not pre-arranged with the onsite manager will be charged at $350/hr. in 30 minute increments.

  • We want to make every event here a special and welcoming experience. Therefore every effort will be made to allow you to prepare decorations reflecting your creative requirements. However, any furnishings, including but not limited to, artworks, lamps, antiques or seating should be rearranged and moved with care and after consultation with LINT staff. No nails, screws, staples or penetrating items are to be used on our walls or doors unless agreed otherwise. No glitter or foil (non­paper) confetti is allowed on site. Only low tack tape is allowed on our doors and wall. Any damage will be charged after your event.

  • LINT is committed to providing a welcoming and harassment-free environment for people of all races, gender expressions, sexual orientations, physical abilities, physical appearances, and beliefs. We believe a clear code of conduct is one necessary part of building an accountable values-driven organization. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, or hatefulness of any kind will not be tolerated and instead actively addressed.

    If you have experienced harm at LINT, or have any concerns about safety, please contact booking@lint.studio and a LINT STUDIO team member will follow up with you.

    Events ending after midnight are charged an additional $30/hr. for hours between 12am-6am.

  • You can purchase event insurance through our partner Event Helper via this link.

    Production and/or event insurance is required for all rentals of LINT with over 30 people, and will cost approximately $125. Prior to your booking you must provide LINT with a copy of your Insurance, with LINT named as an additional insured as follows: “LINT LLC, 1611 S Hope Street, 2nd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90015, Additional Insured: New Horizons Capital, LLC”

  • We love music and dancing! However, please be aware that the premises are located near residential units and therefore neighborhood noise regulations do apply. In the case that your event creates a disturbance due to high noise volume, the onsite manager will ask you, the DJ, or live music presenter to turn the entertainment down and/or off. If repeated disturbances are created, we might choose to turn the music off and reserve the right to end an event early. In the event of disturbances to the point of expulsion, no portion of the event costs will be refunded. Loud music in the main space should end by 10 p.m. during weeknights (Sunday thru Thursday) and by midnight on weekends (Friday and Saturday).

    LINT is not an after-hours venue <3 but we are open to intentional late night events which center the dance floor as a space for liberation. Because of the excessive wear and tear on the space, and the liabilities associated with late-nights, we have limited capacity for these types of bookings.

  • Paid parking reservations can be made through the parking company that manages our lot, JAZ Parking. You may also pay for parking, usually $10-15/vehicle via the QR code posted in the parking lot.

    Guests should be directed to the Visit section of our website, which includes all arrival and parking information.

    Our booking rates depend on a variety of factors depending on guest count, event type, date and time, and client/guest type. Additional fees may apply for use of our equipment.
