On Thursday, April 16, we hosted our 9th Annual Art Show, bringing together students, alumni, staff, families, and friends for an inspiring evening celebrating creativity and community.

More than 90 original works of art were featured in the show’s auction, raising more than $12,000. The artwork—generously donated by NECC students, alumni, staff, local artists, and supporters—showcased a wide range of creativity and talent while helping advance our mission.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Annual Fund, supporting important initiatives including student enrichment opportunities and professional development for teachers and staff.

The evening served not only as a successful fundraiser, but also as a meaningful celebration of artistic expression and the strong sense of community that defines us.

It was our first show at the Warren Conference Center & Inn in Ashland, and we are grateful to everyone who contributed artwork, attended, volunteered, and supported the show’s success.

Through the generosity and creativity of our community, this year’s Art Show once again demonstrated the powerful impact that art and connection can have in supporting students and educators alike.
