The Practice
Sandbox Social operates at the intersection of place, art, care, and social imagination. The practice helps shape the containers where people with distinct practices can come together to explore what becomes possible through shared time, attention, and context.
Nathan Darity
Nathan’s work is rooted in bringing people into meaningful relationships with one another, with place, and with the ideas that shape our common life. Over the past twenty years, he has carried that practice from Brazil to Pittsburgh, from international exchange to artist development. At its core, the work is about creating the conditions for people, organizations, and communities to discover what becomes possible in one another's presence.
Navushouse
Navushouse was built in 2016 and has been our home for the past decade. It is an intentionally built, collaboratively programmed, multi story home located in the North Side of Pittsburgh. The house was designed to be efficient, to let light in, to hold groups, to hold individuals.
Navushouse is home to our current work with Sandbox Social, and a neighbor to the site of a residency program, currently in development.
