Nida Art Colony (NAC), a subdivision of the Vilnius Academy of Arts, is an interdisciplinary art and education centre located on the Curonian Spit dividing the Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea. Their residency programme is open to professional and emerging artists, designers, architects, art critics and curators. Participants have access to professional workshop spaces as well as photo, video and sound equipment and will live and work in the Colony’s living and socialising facilities, surrounded by forest, sand dunes and sea.
