Upcoming Workshops
Join us for our Transforming Metals Workshop with Wisconsin Metalsmiths! Members of the Wisconsin Metalsmiths will be on hand demonstrating their
techniques and skills, and will teach you how to produce your own wearable items or useful objects of art. Try your hand at transforming sheets of metal
into something special, using hammers, pliers, stamps, torches, and more. Walk away from the workshop with something that is uniquely yours!
No previous metalsmithing skills are necessary. Everything will be provided
for you to experience the magic of manipulating metal. The workshop is limited to 15 people. Participants must be age 15 and older.

Artist in Residence
NHCC hosts Artists in Residence in an effort to support both emerging and established local artists and represent the diverse voices of the Greenbush Neighborhood and the surrounding Madison area.
Through this, we hope to help lower barriers to accessing gallery spaces/sharing your work. We encourage all artists, including those from backgrounds that have been historically denied access to creative careers, to apply!
Guidelines:
Must be a local artist who is willing to help in the planning and implementation of a family-friendly exhibition to be displayed in the center & provide at least 1 teaching workshop for the community during the residency. Stipend included!
COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY ART
At Neighborhood House, we’re teaming up with local artists, groups, and organizations to spearhead captivating art projects that welcome participation from everyone. Once completed, these projects will be displayed in the center, as well as, in the new building after redevelopment.
Our aim with these projects is simple yet profound: to unite neighbors, families, and friends in a day filled with the delight of crafting community and art together!
Reach out to Bella at bella@neighborhoodhousemadison.org if you are interested.
TEACH @NHCC
Open call for artists to lead free workshops or collaborative community art projects for the neighborhood. Let’s work together to increase access to arts & craft-making skills.
