About the dot.ateliers

The dot.ateliers launched in December of 2022 is a residency born from an identified need within our creative ecosystem for more non-commercial opportunities that offer support while facilitating the exchange of perspectives, knowledge, and experiences. The space is designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and exploration, providing artists with the resources they need to deepen their artistic practices.
