This Open Call is for a special session for artists with young families, running July 29 - August 5, 2024.
The NISDA Artist Community welcomes emerging and professional artists and educators in all fields including, but not limited to, classical photography, painting, ceramics, textiles, writing, music, performance and any alternative projects committed to the creative process.
NISDA is especially interested in interdisciplinary art, art in the environment and conceptual works. We welcome educators pursuing the integration of the arts and interdisciplinary projects in their classrooms. NISDA’s residency is an on-your-own, self-structured experience that provides time and your studio for personal renewal. In July & August you may arrange open studio time to work NISDA’s Long Shed Ceramics Studio at SeaView Farm, in addition to working in your Atlantic House Residency Studio or in the Nantucket landscape.
NISDA’s OAR Atlantic House is just a short mile down the road from our Historic Seaview Farm Dairy Barn and Long Shed Community Center school facilities – we welcome you to create, work and collaborate with the other Artists, the Community and enjoy our Cultural Arts Lectures and Events!
During the Family Week {July 29-Aug.5} a variety art workshops for Youth (5-12), Teens and Adults are available for enrollment. {go to https://www.nisda.org}
August 3 is the 49th Annual Sand Castle Daay sponsored by NISDA. All Artist Resident families are invited to participate.
Note: Artist Residents are always welcome anytime to bring a spouse, partner, collaborator, or adult child (18+). This Family Week is intended to meet the needs of those with younger children.
