About TechArts

TechArts began as an art installation in 1995, as a way to showcase the artistic talents of the students,

faculty, and staff of New England Tech and share them with the rest of the college community. The concept

of TechArts resurfaced in the Spring of 2004 when a committee of faculty and administrative staff members

became fully committed to keeping this tradition alive as an annual event.

Art now has a permanent place in the Library. Exhibits are changed frequently, with a mix of works from the

expanding number of arts-related courses that are now part of the curriculum. Occasionally, works are donated

to the Library and have become part of our permanent collection. This online exhibit catalog provides a sense

of the art entrusted to us for the next few weeks.

TechArts is brought to you by a dedicated group of faculty, staff, and students including: Sharon Charette, Linda

Dionne, Elizabeth Dubofsky, Dawn Edmondson, Sally Kingsbury, Trevor Liick, Grayce Moorehead, Emmanuel

Nwadiashi, Cindy Pankiewicz, Bethany Pratt, Michelle Thomson, and Sue Warthman.

Thanks to all for their artistic sensibilities and assistance with organizing, arranging, and hanging the art works

throughout the Library.

We invite everyone to come in and enjoy the art for the Spring Quarter and to appreciate the creativity and

imagination of the artists who are part of our college community.
