    NISDA is now in its fourth decade. Generations of students, islanders, summer visitors, student and professional artists have explored the arts in its workshops. Thousands have been challenged and nurtured creatively. Throughout its rich history.


    NISDA has continually evolved, changed and adapted to the times. What has stayed constant, however, has been NISDA’s core values. NISDA is widely acknowledged by those who have studied, taught, and worked there as a place with a rare spirit that fosters creative freedom and nurtures the imagination through its deep respect for the artistic process.
