The Eno Arts Mill is temporarily closed due to flood caused by Tropical Storm Chantal. We hope to reopen in spring, 2026.
On July 6, 2025, Tropical Storm Chantal flooded the Eno Arts Mill with three feet of water throughout our Gallery, classroom, and 15 artist studios. Thanks to the help of over 100 community volunteers, we were able to fully move out of our 10,000sf arts space within three days. We lost supplies, furniture, and more. Our 15 studio artists lost decades of irreplaceable artwork, equipment, and supplies.
We are currently conducting classes and some programs in satellite locations.
