I feel it is very important for our college and department to allow our current students and the local community a chance to experience the range of talent they possess. In the summer of 2017 Reneiry approached me with the idea for the show and we began to plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Santiago, who is interested in becoming a curator agreed to co-curate the show. She researched the art &amp; design graduates, compiled a list, and they were invited to submit up to six images of their recent work for consideration. The co-curators juried the images to create the exhibit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19577\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/media-old\/2019\/01\/Drawing-Foreshortened-Female-Model-Ryan-Silva.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19577\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19577\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/media-old\/2019\/01\/Drawing-Foreshortened-Female-Model-Ryan-Silva-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Foreshortened Female Model 2018&#8221; a 30 x 22 inch, charcoal on paper by Ryan Silva, an NECC art and design alumnus, will hang in the exhibit.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to Santiago,\u201d Last year around this time. I contacted Marc because I was interested in learning more about curating art shows. We discussed applying to curating summer programs for more experience. He then mentioned that he wanted to curate an alumni show and I agreed to co-curate the moment he mentioned this. It was an amazing opportunity and I&#8217;m really grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NECC Art &amp; Design program, part of the Liberal Arts Division, provides a focus in fine arts, multimedia, photography, and graphic design. These lead to an associate degree in general studies: art &amp; design.<\/p>\n<p>The alumni art exhibit, which is free and open to the public, is available for viewing during library hours which are Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact Michelle Carter, art &amp; design department chair, at <a href=\"mailto:mcarter@necc.mass.edu\">mcarter@necc.mass.edu<\/a> or Mannheimer at <a href=\"mailto:mmannheimer@necc.mass.edu\">mmannheimer@necc.mass.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Northern Essex offers an associate degree in general studies: art &amp; design.
