MIXXER Studios
Location
MIXXER has chosen a great location within walking and biking distance of the vibrant urban core of downtown Winston-Salem. We will be located near The Arts Based School, Wise Man Brewing and the Winston Cup Museum. Visible from this location are The Arts District, which is undergoing dramatic growth; and the Innovation Quarter, which is bringing innovators, entrepreneurs, and excitement to our community. Many new downtown apartments accompany the growth in our city, bringing an abundance of creative and innovative people within walking distance of this community workspace. Urban living does not have to exclude you from the pleasure and satisfaction of being a maker anymore. Easy access and parking make it stress-free for commuters to enjoy MIXXER as well. Plan to spend a day with friends and family enjoying making something together, and then take a short walk over to one of the many restaurants, brew pubs, wine bars, shopping, or galleries in the neighborhood.
