Cassilhaus

Durham, NC

2014

Cassilhaus is a home, a singular piece of architecture, a lifelong arts project, and a love-filled partnership between Ellen Cassilly and Frank Konhaus. Ellen is an architect and community activist, and Frank is a retired AV System Designer, Cassilhaus Artist in Residence and Exhibition Programs director, and arts entrepreneur. After a five-year land search and a three-year design process, Cassilhaus was born as a dream home/art gallery/artist studio and residency in the woods between Durham and Chapel Hill, NC, and has grown into an exciting nexus for arts activity and community in the Triangle region. Cassilhaus hosts a diverse exhibition program and a multi-disciplinary residency program that brings extraordinary artists from our area and around the world to pollinate and stimulate our little corner of the art world.
