This year, one of Alex Castro's goals was to open up a storefront were he could exhibit artwork from different artists and also be able to sell his own clothing line. Alex Castro has been involved with Arte for a few years and was featured at the beginning of the revamp of the magazine. Alex also believes in giving back to the community, which was one of the main reasons he opened up the storefront. The Sinless Factories is located in the heart of the Long Beach Art District. The new hotspot will feature clothing from the hottest brands and flesh art supplies. Sinless Factories will also be used as a gallery that will host different type of artwork each month. The grand opening featured artists like Gullermo Avalos, Rist One, Ryan Smith, Big Gus, Carlos Rojas, Rick Muos, Joe Cool, Swiss Precise, Daniel Quinones, Juan Gonzales, Jose Martinez, and photographers Sergio G and John Jarasa. The blessing of the gallery was performed by Alex's mom, Mayalia Castro, who also sang a few inspiring songs for all the spectators that showed up to the event. With more than 1,000 spectators, the celebration was cut short due to the fire marshals but at the end of the day it was a successful grand opening. We wish Alex and his family the best of luck. If you want to check out the shop in person stop by 418 Cherry Ave., Long Beach, CA 90802. If you want to check out the shop and to see more of Alex Castro's work, visit
