The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ~Paul Strand

During the course of the past two days, our school has hosted the annual Fine Arts Festival, a tradition that continues to highlight the amazing work of our student artists and their teachers. Displayed in the Nipmuc gymnasium, the Fine Arts Festival showcases over 1,000 examples of student work, providing our school and community with an impressive glimpse at the range of talent and creativity of our students.
The Nipmuc art program continues to provide our students with a tremendous education in the arts. Last year, the art department received the College Board's Award for Innovation and Excellence in the Arts, honoring the way they guide our students to exceptional achievement. The true evidence of their success, however, can be found when walking past each of the displays found in the gymnasium this week.

In this student work exists a reminder of what Paul Strand suggests when he says an "artist's world is limitless." Whether enjoying Kelsey Campbell's lifelike jungle cats, Eric Brodeur's vivid photography, Hailey Smith's "Best in Show" portfolio, or any of the displayed work, one cannot help but appreciate the dedication of the students and their impressive talent.

Congratulations to the Nipmuc Art Department. We are fortunate that you have brought such wonderful art to "our doorstep" and that you've reminded us of the limitless ability of our students.
