Student Exhibition

Nassau Community College has a vibrant Art Department that encourages students to explore personal expression, strong individual vision, craftsmanship, and the development of a professional practice. All NCC students can study photography, graphic design, ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, animation, and more. Each year over 3,500 students enroll in these courses, taught by dedicated faculty members. We seek to celebrate their accomplishments through an adjudicated exhibition.
