Volunteer with NDC

How might artists residencies provide both an opportunity for affordable housing, and community investment? The Teaching Artist Institute's mission is to answer this question through their Artist in Residence program, which will foster a culture of engagement and connection between artists and the community in which they live. NDC is working with TAI to provide an initial site analysis and community vision for the program's targeted location.

We are looking for architects with an attention to local and national zoning and code requirements, as well as an interest in artists' and community spaces. This project begins summer 2024.

Please contact Julia DiMauro at jdimauro@ndc-md.org with questions or to express interest.

Do you have experience with museum exhibit design and are committed to youth advocacy and education?

NDC is joining an ongoing partnership between Benjamin Franklin High School, Towson University, and the South Baltimore Community Land Trust that has trained youth as organizers, engaged citizens and scientists since 2015. To uplift the work of Curtis Bay students to scientifically, historically, and ethnographically document the local effects of CSX coal trains in their community, this design team will help a small group of students to build an interactive and mobile installation.

We are seeking tech-savvy exhibition designers, graphic designers, and artists with experience in fabrication or website building to help make this project a reality.

This project begins in June 2024

Please contact Julia DiMauro at jdimauro@ndc-md.org with questions or to express interest.
