    The Thursday Night Fete is a meeting space and studio workspace where creatives can meet with other creatives, to collaborate, create, laugh and build community. Come with your fellow creative friends, listen to some original works by your community island musicians, perhaps start a knitting circle, form a group critique, work on a collaborative piece or just come and enjoy company with like-minded creative individuals.


    NISDA is an inclusive creative open space, welcoming all cultures, gender identities, sexual orientation, and religious beliefs to come together to explore the creative process.  Please note: For the comfort and safety of all... NISDA  is a substance and alcohol free environment.
