Soft-spoken and succinct, Jim Smith is a mild-mannered union organizer and owner and operator of The Smell, a D.I.Y. art and music space in downtown Los Angeles. For more than 10 years The Smell has been dedicated to promoting and championing avant-garde music acts from across the nation.

Come have a look and listen inside the walls of The Smell as THIS Visits speak with the man behind the D.I.Y. club.

As part of our ongoing support of creative communities, Incase is proud to present THIS Visits, a video project from THIS Gallery partners Luis Farfan and Aaron Farley. The series focuses on emerging talent in the fields of art, music and design and aims to capture the people, places and things that bring us joy and spark creativity.
