Program Description

The aim of the program is to provide artists with the space and time to focus on their art practice with few distractions. The residency is loosely structured with 3  events each month: free format artists presentations, a public open studio event, and a shared potluck dinner.  In order to keep our residency fees low and artistic freedom high, the Nes team provides accessory site support: we are on the sideline to assist with any logistical issues or artistic questions that arise as needed . We view our role in the residency more as supporters rather than managers or administrators.
