Visit the Firehouse Art Gallery (whose student art competition runs through May 15) and you'll see what I mean. More than one hundred student works, in a variety of media, are on display.
Ditto for the Music Department's concerts and choral presentations, which are regular events throughout the year, especially in the spring semester. Lots of musical talent here.
At this Thursday night's fashion show in the College Center, you'll see a different kind of creativity, as NCC fashion students model their designs for the campus community. Stop by and get a glimpse of their great work.
And while you're in the CCB, take a look at the terrific artwork produced by Nassau students as part of NCC 101's Student Multimedia Arts and Writing Competition (see this year's winning entries below). Each reflects the student artist's response to this year's college-wide theme, "Speak, Memory." One work is more engaging than the next.
That's not all. Students who participated in this year's competition also wrote poems, shared personal reminscences, and wrote and performed original music, all speaking to the power of memory. You can read, view, and listen to their work on the First-Year Experience's Creativity page at http://www.ncc.edu/studentlife/first_year_experience/creative_competition.shtml
Whether you're a poet, a painter, a songwriter, an essayist, a designer, a photographer, a musician, a sculptor, or someone interested in pioneering new forms, there's plenty of room to stretch at this college. And there's no shortage of people--faculty and others--willing to help you reach in new artistic directions. Just ask the students who've found Nassau a source of inspiration.
