It will come as no surprise that the September floods severely impacted Marshall High Studios. We are working hard to restore the building to its former glory. We can’t tell you when we’ll be opening the studios to new residents but we are aiming for a May 1 opening date, if not sooner.

Feel free to fill out the link on this website to register your interest in a studio and we will be in touch with more details as they develop.

Marshall High Studios is an artist community, a historical sanctuary on an island in the French Braod River that houses over 30 creators, makers, and entrepreneurs, and is a cornerstone of our town’s culture. We need your help to rebuild, click here to learn more.
