MenLo is a studio and gallery focused on young and emerging Chinese contemporary artists in any medium and international ceramic artists working with non-traditional processes or forms. We do not have representational relationships with artists, we facilitate making, and try to find the work done in our studio homes in various galleries, museums, and other venues around China.
The Private Studio @ MenLo is used as a single, or small group residency space for artists we feel fit one of the two gallery missions. The studio is private, equipped for ceramic production, painting, and general working on things. We are located in Chang Hong Neighborhood, next to the popular Sculpture Factory district.

We work to find an equitable fee individually with each resident or group. Applications are open to professional artists internationally and graduate students and professionals from China.
