Nest Artists is an organization formed in 2020 by student artists to who wished to create an inclusive space for students to gather, create, share, and express themselves in a variety of creative mediums. The Nest Artists also promote and organize art-centered events, and invite others to create in various forms, which include traditional visual works such as drawing, painting, and digital art, as well as knitting, crochet and quilting, zines, writing, performances, and audiovisual works such as original music or short films. Anyone, regardless of their level or experience, is welcome.

The Nest Artists also contribute artwork to enhance college spaces. Neema Kimondo '23, Tiana Sharpe '23, and Kiara Kaltschnee '23 painted an eight-wall mural for the Underground Coffeehouse in 2020, and there are also commissioned murals anticipated for the library, the Charleston House, and La Eracra.

In 2022, Nest Artists held its first TrinGala exhibition showcase, “a combination of the Met Gala and an art show exhibition” in which students could submit works for a chance to win a cash prize, dress “to the nines” and walk the red carpet. 2022 also saw the first student craft fair, where Nest Artists displayed and sold artworks in the library, which included completed pieces as well as on-demand commissions.
