Adobe Books & Art Cooperative

The co-op and volunteer-run Adobe has been grassroots since its founding in 1989. Instantly becoming a “living room” space for artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers, Adobe eventually expanded to include an art gallery space, and has hosted renowned musical acts such as Devendra Banhart and The Oh Sees. Adobe moved to its current 24th Street location in 2012, which has become known as an Indie Bookstore Row (see below), and is an active part in the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District.
