Join us for an online gallery talk with The Nicholson Project founder, Stefanie Reiser.

The Nicholson Project is an artist residency program coupled with a neighborhood garden that works to support artists and serve as a creative and innovative cultural hub. It aims to become a community anchor that celebrates the community’s authentic identity while infusing new vibrancy into Southeast DC.

The Nicholson Project opened its doors to the public on September 14, 2019. During its first year it offered 4 paid artists residencies, 4 virtual dialogues/community conversations, 10 paid digital residencies, and 5 community events. During these challenging times, the Nicholson Project also relied on its garden to distribute more than 1200 bags of produce directly to its community.

A serial entrepreneur and changemaker, Reiser has been consulting and founding successful businesses since 1993. In 2014, she founded Align Development LLC, a boutique development company with several built residential projects. Align Development also serves as the platform through which Reiser conceives and develops radically transformative ideas, and the projects that bring those to fruition.

In 2019, Reiser founded The Nicholson Project, a paid artist residency program and community hub in Southeast DC.
