The faculty art show gallery opening happened on Thursday Oct. 23, 2025. 

It consisted of artworks from the art teachers here at Northern Essex. At the event there were four faculty members who participated in this art gallery but one was unfortunately absent for the event. 

The gallery show consisted of 19 pieces of art from the faculty, and they were really good. 

The event started off with people looking at the artwork and the professors talked about their artworks for a little bit. 

Coordinator of Library Services Laura Mondt , she  said, “My favorite art piece is ‘Sun eaters, pollen seekers’ by Jenn Houle.”

“I came to support the art faculty,”  she said. “I like the diversity within the art faculty.”

Mail and Reprographics Supervisor Steven DiLeo said, “ My favorite art piece is ‘Haverhill bell,’ by Marc Mannheimer.”

“I wanted to hear from the artists about their work,” he said.  “I like that the faculty is sharing their artwork.”

Tim Fiske said, “My favorite art piece is ‘Queequeg’s mark,’ by Dianne Pappas.

“I was interested in what the faculty were doing,” he said. “I like how the artwork is made by human hands.”

All of the artwork in the gallery is amazing, and it is very diverse.

The gallery is open for anyone to see in the library in the art gallery room. 

It is a great thing to check out if you like artwork or are an art student here at Northern Essex. It is also good to go see it if you want to get into art but don’t know the ways you can create art. 

The event was a great way to see what the faculty do when it comes to their artwork. 

It is also a great way to see what art can look like, it is amazing to see all the different art pieces that there were in the event. 

There are some artworks right when you walk in that signify the theme of the art gallery.

It was interesting to hear the faculty telling us about their artwork and seeing the relationship but also seeing the difference between them. 

All of the artwork is really cool and interesting to see, it is also a great place to relax and look at some great artwork made by the art faculty here at Northern Essex.The event itself was very laid back and chill and we got to hear the meaning behind each artwork and how it relates to the theme of the gallery.
