Despite the loss of the historic Boat Shack at the start of the year, Nick’s Cove’s is going strong with its new Artists in Residence program continuing as scheduled. The inaugural class got started in January, with the first of 12 artists filling the calendar with a variety of hands-on classes, demos, artist talks and open studios. Among the artists showcasing and sharing their talents in March are Liana Steinmetz, who is leading a plein air artist talk and demo on March 3, and Erin McCluskey Wheeler, who closes the 2024 program with a collage-making class on March 31.
