NADAS's history
NADAS first opened its doors in 2018, established as a centre for projects that support the diversity of urban life and relationships between people and their environments. Pre-pandemic, NADAS hosted creative workshops and classes, meetings and gatherings, gardening and planting, studio work, co-working facilities, art classes and art residencies, and exhibitions. By providing space for ideas to be heard, tested and integrated, NADAS built a community around living slowly, mindfully and empathetically.
Programming continues today in similar as well as new formats, including workshops and plant talks.
