The Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts (NISDA) offers the Offshore Artist Residency (OAR) for artists and educators across diverse disciplines such as photography, painting, ceramics, textiles, writing, music, performance, and interdisciplinary projects. Located 30 miles out to sea on Nantucket Island, this residency provides a unique environment rich in natural beauty and cultural history. NISDA encourages residents to engage deeply with the island’s vibrant community and participate in cultural events and lectures. Residencies are self-structured and offer live-in studios of varying sizes with access to ceramics studios for an additional fee. Options for residency exchanges and shared studio spaces are available to help reduce costs. The program operates year-round with specific schedules for summer, fall, and winter, encouraging longer stays for in-depth exploration.
