  • read more about C3

    C3 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.

C3 THURSDAY NIGHTS AT NISDA


Summer Time Thursday Evenings 6–8 pm with ISLAND TUNES live music open mic "en plein air" and FOOD TRUCK for food to purchase


Last year C3 Thursdays was a wonderful success!
We hope to see you out at the NISDA's Seaview Farm (23 Wauwinet Rd) again this summer for some homegrown island music and great "eats" from local food trucks! This event is open to all… We have lawn chairs + picnic tables… Please bring family,  friends, houseguests… and perhaps a picnic blanket! 


We invite your participation in the “No More Empty Bowls” project.

Last summer the NISDA community produced 150 handmade bowls for the benefit of the NFFRA Food Pantry Fundraiser!  No clay experience necessary…

Join us  in the Long Shed Clay Studio!
