"It's so cool," Servellon said. "Everybody is so welcoming."

Servellon and his friends had gathered in The Owlery lofts, where the tenants had baked cookies and cupcakes for art walk attendees.

An artist himself, Servellon said the Inland Empire needs a place where artist can come together to display their work.

"There's so many different types of art. You see everybody's individual talent. This place has a good vibe," he said.

Patricia Zavala of Redlands was also attending her first art walk. The 25-year-old said she was a little hesitant about walking into the homes of the artists.

"I've never been to anything like this. But everyone is open and welcoming, they are so pleased you are here," Zavala said. "You feel a connection everywhere you go."

Artist Eric Martinez has been living in the Emporia lofts for almost a year.

Martinez said he simultaneously works on three images at a time. His paintings are based on recollections of past memories as well as dealing with current issues, which is why his images often looked pixelated. 

The 24-year-old said he enjoys opening up his studio to the community while he works.

"The process of making artwork is far more interesting than the finished work," Martinez said.

Gina Pavia, one of the artists that lives in the lofts said the artwalks are collaboration between the residents.

Artists are also meeting on a more regular basis, discussing ways they can improve the art walks, she Pavia.

"I would like the community to grow and to have more people come and appreciate art," Pavia said.
