Longtime Antioch photo studio is rebranding
Linda Johnson expands use, offers rental space
Studio 510, located in Downtown Antioch, has recently changed its name to Rivertown Creative Studio. Founded by Linda Johnson in 1987, the space, located at 510 W. 3rd Street, functions as a not-for-profit studio that offers low-cost rentals to artists who run their own businesses. Many of you probably remember it as Linda Johnson Photography.
Now retired, Johnson understands the challenges of starting a business. Her goal is to keep the studio’s rental price affordable just as it was for her at the start of her career.
“The rent was low back then and I knew I could afford it,” Johnson said. “Then my business grew and it got easier and easier.”
In addition to overseeing Rivertown Creative Studio, Johnson also offers business coaching and mentoring in portraiture to those who are interested.
Current Rivertown Creative Studio members primarily offer portrait photography services to the public, but recent upgrades to the space now cater to innovative content creators by including an all-new content creation room and art studio.
“We are a studio space for all,” Johnson added.
The studio members have become a supportive network for each other, sharing materials, ideas and wins. Artists interested in becoming a member of Rivertown Creative Studio can contact Linda Johnson at (925) 305-9621.
