CHECK BACK SOON FOR 2026 RESIDENCY INFORMATION
No Boundaries Art Colony is a unique opportunity for artists to engage in cross-cultural and cross-creative exchange. Our program, located on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, provides participating artists with the time, space, and resources to create without inhibition and alongside fellow working artists. With a supportive, collaborative, and community based environment, artists can unleash their creativity and build lasting connections. We invite you to join us for two weeks of unparalleled artistic expression and community building.
"No Boundaries had exceptional people. There were great affinities and relationships of friendship and understanding that even now surprise me. The working conditions were optimal and so were the results. In the end it was difficult for me to leave, and I consider my stay there a gift."

No Boundaries was founded by Wilmington artists Pam Toll, Gayle Tustin and Dick Roberts in 1998 to bring artists from around the world together to enlighten each other and the larger community through sharing art, culture and ideas. No Boundaries continues to be predominately run by artists who understand how important the gift of creative time is.
