Nida Art Colony (NAC)
welcomes proposals from artists, designers, architects, curators, and art
researchers for its upcoming summer-autumn residencies on the Baltic Sea coast
in the Curonian
Spit National Park, Lithuania.
NAC is located in a remote
and beautifully distinct landscape next to the resort town of Nida.
The residency is most appropriate for those artists who are seeking time for experiments
and research, value the creative process and a big studio or open-air space as
well as for those who love coincidences and the chance to meet artists from all
over the world. Parallel to the residency program, the Colony building also
hosts student workshops and international artistic projects for shorter periods
of time.
The Colony provides the
necessary living and social conditions to ensure a comfortable environment for
the five artists-in-residence. Each of the five residencies is set out on two
floors with 65 square meters of floor space and feature all the necessary
facilities. The colony is situated about 600 meters away from the sand dunes,
and the beach. More information on activities (like the curated exhibition Taking Time) and
facilities can be found on our website and Facebook.
