NSCAD Art factory and Wonder’neath Art Society

Wonder’neath Art Society is an artist-run, charitable organization that brings professional artists and community together, encouraging and promoting art as a tool for expression, connection and social transformation. Through the Open Studio Program Wonder’neath provides access to professional artists, materials, art making activities and instruction. In 2020, Wonder’neath moved to a new and significantly larger space that offers increased potential for programming and outreach to new communities and new partner organizations. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, almost all face to face public programming was paused, in this time Wonder’neath distributed 12,000 art making kits within the community. As the doors open to the public in this new space, Wonder’neath is able to once again engage directly with community and continue the process of growing into this new space with a larger and more diverse community.
The NSCAD Art Factory is rooted in a community-based model of arts pedagogy and engagement, driven by community needs and creative practices. Both Wonder’neath Art Society and NSCAD Art Factory are excited to partner in this internship program.
