NISDA FACILITIES

SEAVIEW FARM ART CENTER

NISDA’s programs are held in the Nantucket land and seascape and at its studio facilities at Sea View Farms, a converted dairy barn in Wauwinet. Classroom and studio spaces at the NISDA Barn include two 2D/3D studios; a small textile studio; photo studio; library; Silo Gallery; and an outdoor open air studio.

NISDA program participants also enjoy working in the surrounding meadow or at nearby Polpis Harbor.

THE LONGSHED CERAMICS STUDIO

NISDA's Long Ceramics Studio has undergone historic restoration, thanks to Community Preservation Funds Grant assistance. A new roof, shingles and amazing large sliding barn doors have been restored for so students can work in the "open air" overlooking the farm Dairy Barn, Heifer Barn, Silos and Meadow. A French Drain is now in place to help channel Eat Fire Spring which is just behind the building. A new cement floor has been poured and we have plans to install Solar on the 100 foot south facing roof which will allow our studio to be open year round to the community while being green and energy effecient!

NISDA would like to thank the Community Preservation Committee members for their continued vote for financial support to restore the Historic Seaview Farm, enabling NISDA to preserve the last of the Dairy Barns on the Island! The CPC Funding will continue to help NISDA maintain the historic structures so Artists and the Community at Large can continue to enjoy our facilities and programming.
