Welcome to ISLE3: Where Art and Community Converge

Step into the vibrant world of ISLE3, the brainchild and working studio space of Jesse "DAK1NE" Velasquez. More than just an artist's studio, ISLE3 is a fusion of creativity and community, meticulously designed to be both a storefront and a dynamic working space.

A Haven for Local Artistry

At ISLE3, the storefront is a canvas that breathes with the spirit of DAK1NE's creations. However, it's not just about one artist; ISLE3 is a passionate advocate for uplifting local talents, welcoming artists of all scales to showcase their unique expressions.

The name "ISLE3" holds profound significance, embodying the essence of Oahu, the place that DAK1NE was born and raised. "Isle" resonates with the spirit of the Hawaiian Islands in a literal sense, while the "3" signifies Oahu being the third largest and oldest of the Islands.

Our Vision: Nurturing Art, Building Community

Beyond artistry, ISLE3 aspires to be a nurturing ground for creativity, a space where the community gathers, collaborates, and grows together. Our goal is to foster connections, inspire collaborations, and contribute to the flourishing artistic landscape of Honolulu. If you're interested in working with us, collaborations, or just need a physical space to display your art, please email us!
