Lizz Dawson & Vito Grippi are doing it again! ⭐️

If you were around last fall, you had to have heard about The Artist Residency. We had an incredibly talented group in our space for weeks creating projects that debuted during November’s First Friday.

This time, the program will run from October to December’s First Friday. Same vibes, just a different time. 💫

We can’t wait to see who joins us this time! Swipe through for all the deets. Then head to our bio or stories for the application link. Or share with an artist you think might be interested!
