Introduction
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 and elsewhere on campus. Exhibits
in the Library are changed quarterly, 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 includes the art entrusted to us on a long-term
basis.
See exhibit catalogs for TechArts 2005 and TechArts 2006.
