The Culture Mill Lab

A performing Arts Laboratory

The Culture Mill Lab is a space which supports the realization of our programs and projects. It is a rehearsal and performance space for artworks that will take place in Saxapahaw or elsewhere. It is a place for artists to gather in order to exchange practices, ideas and strategies, and for students to take part in Culture Mill’s educational programming. The Lab is also our office and studio space. All of these events together help to build creative community in Saxapahaw, and to provide a space for the support and development of the arts.

Traditionally, the Culture Mill Lab has served as an important place for gathering in our role as a community-focused Arts Laboratory. To ensure that the space remains accessible, we are proceeding with caution and awareness of public health and safety. This means we are open to reservations for live performances, audio or video recordings, and virtual gatherings while encouraging masking among participants. We do require masking for indoor Culture Mill events during spikes in airborne illnesses such as COVID-19.

Our Open Space Policy states that if a member of our greater artist or local communities wishes to utilize the Lab for a free event that supports our mission or our greater community, we will do our best to make the space free and available outside of our regular programming. For private or profit-generating events, we rent the Lab depending on availability.  Please learn more about the space and its amenities by following the link above.
