Sandcastle & Sculpture Day

The 44th annual Sculpture and Sandcastle Day 2017 is hosted by the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts on July 22nd. Located at Jetties Beach east of the jetty the event invites teams that will be categorized by age groups (age of the oldest member determines the age group,) to create sand sculptures using the beauty of Nantucket Island’s coastal nature. Once officially checked in a team can begin planning and constructing their masterpieces that will be later judged for awards based off: creativity, design, and concept. Judges will be local professional and visiting artists. Though not only their expertise matters, a People’s Choice Award will also be granted to the bystander’s favorite. Applications can be found at the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts.
