Established in 1934, The Hambidge Center is a sanctuary unlike any other dedicated to nurturing creativity in all walks of life. On the historic 600-acre campus in the North Georgia Mountains, Hambidge offers a national multidisciplinary residency program, innovative workshops, along with community programs and a gallery. As the oldest residency program in the South, Hambidge has a long tradition of excellence hosting artists, writers, dancers, musicians, chefs and scientists exploring their creative voices while unplugging from everyday distractions. With the addition of the Antinori Village in 2023, Hambidge has expanded its programming to include workshops, curated projects, and public events, furthering its mission to nurture creativity. Inspiring workshops are modeled after the residency program welcoming eight individuals at a time to ensure deeper connection and crafted from the number of people that fit around the dinner table. The Cross-Pollination Art Lab in Atlanta also provides studio space and dynamic arts programming. Through all its programs, Hambidge boldly promotes the creative process and incubation of ideas in the widest diversity of people while building strong, supportive bonds of community through open, respectful dialogue and shared experiences.
