All of our studio spaces are outfitted to be as flexible as possible so that we can accommodate a variety of practices. Our visual arts studios are spacious with large work tables and sinks. Access is available to woodshop and metal shop facilities for any fabrication needs. Our writing studios are comfortably furnished with work tables, bookshelves and reading chairs. Residents live in newly renovated historic homes in town that have shared kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas. Our entire campus has high speed wifi internet access.
