Our three facilitators are all trained in the lineage of the Jewish Studio Project and the Open Studio Process. The process gently guides participants of all art experience levels into contact with their own creativity. While there is artmaking, there is no way to do it wrong—this is not about end products or goals, but about the alchemy that happens in the space of creativity itself, especially when we’re in that cauldron together.

Conspire Studio is a gathering place for fostering and nourishing creativity through group and one-on-one practice, located in Asheville, NC (Eastern Band of Cherokee land).

Sustain Studio is a creative facilitation and intentional convening hub tending ways of being that sustain life based on Dakota Land in Minneapolis, MN.

Conspire and Sustain have been delightedly scheming up this collaboration for a while, excited to bring together their shared passion for creative process and how it can shape and change culture while nourishing us in times of chaos.

If you are coming from out of town, look for flights into Asheville or Greenville (1 hour away—you’d probably need to rent a car). The studio is located 5 minutes from downtown, in the Charlotte Street neighborhood. The Blind Tiger Hotel is within walking distance, and there are other hotels and AirBnBs nearby. Reach out if you need further assistance or recommendations.

So many fun things! Asheville has great art and music—you can wander around the River Arts District, catch some live music at the Grey Eagle, get a drink and dessert at Potential New Boyfriend, walk along the river or go for a hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway, visit the Botanical Gardens, and lots more! We’re happy to give recommendations for food and shopping, too.
