Nipmuc Travelling Art Show


If you've ever had the chance to walk through the halls of Nipmuc Regional, then you are familiar with the tremendous student artwork that decorates our corridors and stairwells. Whenever I am welcoming teachers or administrators from other schools to our building, I always begin the tour of our building by showing this display of student artwork. Each one of the paintings, drawings, and photographs on our walls provides a great source of pride for our school and a wonderful introduction to the creativity, skill, and achievement of our students and teachers.

We know how fortunate we are to spend each day surrounded by a gallery of student work. We are also excited that each year is a new chance to share this work with the community. Each year the Nipmuc Art Society puts together a collection of some of the most accomplished student artwork to be part of the Nipmuc Regional High School Travelling Art Show. This professionally framed collection of student work is then made available for local businesses to display for a month at a time for a donation of $100. These donations are then used to fund art scholarships for students in the current senior class.

I am excited to let you know that Dean Bank in Mendon is the site of the first showing of the 2011 Travelling Art Show. The show will be displayed until October 31st. We are very thankful for the support provided by Dean Bank and hope that you will stop by to view the show.

Congratulations to the students whose work is part of this year's show including: Aislyne Calianos, Bethany Laquidara, Celia Taylor, Hailey Smith, Hannah Smith, Jennifer Pittman, Kelsey Campbell, Marisa Camden, Michaela Arrigo, Michaela Bolotin, Skylar Griswold, Timothy Sabean, Danielle LaCroix, Nicole LaCroix, and Chenoa TraceyStone.

Congratulations, also, to our art teachers - Mr. Kevin Campbell, Mrs. Alison Clish, and Ms. Jessica Grady (now teaching at Memorial School) - for their inspired teaching of our artists.
