The North Shores Improvement Association (NSIA) was founded over 80 years ago to improve the quality of life in our community. It represents the area from South Ponte Vedra to the St. Augustine Inlet.

Over the years, NSIA has been successful in representing the community regarding issues and recommendations to county and state officials and has developed many projects to enhance and benefit the community. Members of the Association built the Community Center and Volunteer Fire House, which is now part of the civic and recreational complex at Meadow Avenue and First Street. The property has a playground, tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, a ball field, a dog park, and a community garden.

The mission is to sustain and improve the quality of life in beachside communities. NSIA provides the opportunity for residents to become stakeholders in the future, encouraging support, sponsorship, recreational, social, and educational activities with your participation and help.

501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donations help achieve these goals. For more information on how you can support this mission click here.

"We are not street performers, we are educators. We are not parades, we are historic programs. This is not an exercise in free speech, this is an opportunity to educate. We are not promoting a political agenda, we are promoting the city's history through a practical and factual teaching method".

Crisp-Ellert Art Museum at Flagler College

crisp-ellertBuilt in honor of Dr. JoAnn Crisp-Ellert and her husband, Dr. Robert Ellert, the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum offers Flagler College students and the Northeast Florida community a venue for fostering knowledge and a deep appreciation of contemporary art. As an educational resource for the College, the Museum exhibits regional, national and international artists, and provides opportunities for critical engagement and exposure to a variety of exhibitions and personal interactions with visiting artists. The Museum challenges students, the Flagler community and the public to cultivate individual creativity, critical reflection, historical consciousness and respect for the free exchange of ideas. In this spirit, the Museum also hosts public programs, including artist talks, readings, panel discussions and film series that provide a platform for vital interdisciplinary dialogue.
