The Lab is a 2500-square-foot leased space in the historic Railroad Building on South Liberty Street. This innovative facility will offer programmatic, office and “blue sky” meeting space for Kenan Arts Research Fellows, members of the Arts Enterprise Lab and Guest Artists of UNCSA, as well as invited community members and partner organizations. The Lab will also house the Center for Creative Economy, allowing the two institutions to continue working in partnership to strengthen arts enterprise in North Carolina.
