Annual Student Exhibition at NEC Art Gallery May 5 through May 15

The Gallery at New England College presents their Annual Student Exhibition May 5 through May 15, featuring the works of senior students from their studio art program. The exhibition will feature a range of works including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, and graphic design. The public is invited to a closing reception for the artists on Friday, May 14 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. during Commencement weekend.

The scope of the works being exhibited is varied. Some students are highlighting their abilities with varied media, while others are presenting a series or related theme. For example, Tim Rand’s stylistic range in portraits depicts aggressive, gestural mark-making, to subtly modeled color transitions, to gridded and constructed three-dimensional images that explore a shallow projection off the picture plane. Erin Webber’s oil paintings are darkly satirical portrayals of fairytale icons.

New England College senior artists include Tim Rand, Erin Webber, Moriah Christie, Bethany Boisvert, Jess Chauca, Paige Coleman, Justin Rogers, Krystin Talbot, Rohaan Malhotra, Meghan Deyermond, Sara Tripple, Elyse Neilan, and Heather Gray.

Admission to the Gallery is free. Gallery hours are: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Weekends are by appointment.  The Gallery is located on Main Street in Henniker, New Hampshire, adjacent to the College’s Administration Building  For more information, call the Gallery at 603-428-2329.
