Azule  - A Place for the Arts

Artist Residencies since 2011 | Community Events since 1980.

Built and run by artists, Azule is a gathering place for the arts that fosters creative connections, both locally and globally.

Nestled in the serene Appalachian community of Hot Springs, NC, Azule is a non-profit organization passionately dedicated to nurturing creativity, fostering community, and facilitating cultural exchange through our esteemed artist residency program. Our residency offers artists a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in their craft, collaborate with fellow creators, and engage with the local community.

During their stay, artists at Azule are provided with studio space, accommodations, and resources essential for their creative journey. Whether you identify as a painter, sculptor, writer, musician, or any other type of artist, Azule offers a welcoming space for exploration and experimentation.
