As part of our Creative Justice Journey to Montgomery and Atlanta Nov 11-15, we hope to take 10 local artists as a "Creative Justice Cohort." These artists will travel, all expenses paid, alongside our Artist-in-Residence, Stephen Hayes, and then work together to curate an exhibit at the Eno Arts Mill Gallery in June, 2027.

The Mary Duke Biddle Foundation just got us a BIG step closer to our goal and will be matching all donations towards the cohort this week!

Make a tax-deductible donation and help local artists be a part of this experience. Link in comments!

Read in August's edition of "Down on Copperline" by David Meconi: "How Jess Klein Has Become One of Orange County's Most Visible Personalities".

David says, "...Klein has become one of this area’s most visible personalities in Americana music, earning plaudits in far-away publications including the New York Times (which called her 'a songwriter with a voice of unblinking tenacity')."

Get involved with our brand-new ceramics studio at the Eno Arts Mill - become a Studio Assistant or Ceramics Teacher! https://forms.gle/XvkSiFcQ6fuaDFUd6

Studio assistants are the heartbeat of open studio. As a studio assistant, you'll keep the space welcoming and running well, helping with glazes, loading, firing, and unloading kilns (we'll teach you everything you need to know).

Teachers lead one to two classes a week for a full session, (about 3 hours on site per class with setup and cleanup). You bring your own approach— your demos, your expertise, the techniques you wish someone had shown you sooner.

If you love sharing your deep and cultivated knowledge of clay, we would love to hear from you.

Applications open now! https://forms.gle/XvkSiFcQ6fuaDFUd6
