MenLo is a studio and gallery focused on amplifying young and emerging Chinese contemporary artists in any medium and bringing international ceramic artists working with non-traditional processes or forms to Jingdezhen. As a gallery 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.

Residents are provided studio space, tools, and limited materials and supported in the mounting of an exhibition and the presentation of a public lecture. 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.
We operate on an invitation basis, and always welcome submissions for consideration. In these submissions we want to know:
