The residency provides comfortable accommodations, spacious studios, and access to a variety of print and fabrication shops — all under one roof. The cohort is a thoughtful curation of artists across disciplines who commune over meals and occasional outings. Memphis is a wonderful city to inhabit. I would recommend bringing a vehicle if possible as it unlocks a lot of the city to you; however, the center that hosts the residency is robust and has mostly anything you might need for basic living needs.
