The Smell was one of the first DIY venues I ever attended. I've never been to a venue that compares to the Smell since. The energetic community is so supportive and dedicated. The space is potent with the spirit of the LA music scene. I can't bare to see this place torn down brick by brick!

The Smell is one of few venues in LA that strive to cultivate and share a love of art with all people, regardless of their age. It is historical in that it has not only served as a place for up and coming artists to perform, but as a place that's been loved by many. Please save The Smell.

The Smell has been a large part of my life since the day I was born. I have been through rough and thin, and The Smell saved me.

The smell was a huge part of growing up for me and our community. Not only did it host a safe places for people of all ages and music to enjoy music and art but it also accommodated bands, artist and visitors from all over the world. This venue is a historic place for music and culture of Los Angeles.

Art needs this!! LA needs this! Closing The Smell would be taking away from LA's culture.

The Smell is an important cultural landmark known worldwide as a showcase for experimental music and art. It has exposed many hundreds of thousands to expressions outside the mainstream. What have YOU done?
