Art programming at NADAS began with our opening in 2018, and has been integral to growing our creative community. Programming included a weekly art group, exhibitions, Nadas'a Bırak artists residency, and open-level art classes and workshops; covering mediums such as drawing, collage, charcoal, watercolour, urban sketching, figure drawing, and printmaking.
Art workshops continue on an occasional basis. For updates, follow us on instagram.

This series was open to all levels, for those new to studio-work as participants looking to expand their skills.
