Chester Gallery

The Chester Gallery, located in Preston Barn in Henniker, is a focal point for visual arts in the region and is led by Visiting Professor and Gallery Director Devon Mozdierz.

Established in 1988 and renamed in 2016 to honor Chester College of New P站视频 (1965鈥�2012) and its founder Faith Preston Wadleigh, this gallery features exhibitions of national significance and works of regionally recognized artists. Designed by alumnus G. Richard Keller 鈥�50 and staffed by NEC students, this space showcases diverse media, large installations, traditional two- and three-dimensional offerings, and a variety of cultural events.

The Gallery was the realization of a vision shared by then-president William R. O鈥機onnell, Jr., and noted author, photographer, and curator Robert R. 鈥淢ac鈥� Doty. Both men wanted to create a professional gallery in central New Hampshire that would showcase the region鈥檚 emerging talent. In keeping with the college鈥檚 mission, the gallery would be accessible, welcoming, and free to the community at large.

Mac Doty鈥檚 expertise and love of the arts was evident as he led the renovation of the barn and design of the gallery space. The Chester Gallery is spacious and spans two floors, with a large cathedral ceiling in the main room and a mezzanine on three sides.

Thom Adams Gallery in French Hall

Emma B. French had a vision to bring culture to Manchester through direct instruction and lectures in the fine arts, music, literature, and the sciences. The result was a building she underwrote and built as a permanent educational institution in the center of the city.

Today, French Hall is home to the Thom Adams Gallery. It features works primarily by students and faculty of the Institute of Art and Design at New P站视频 College.

This gallery is free, open to the public, and handicap accessible.
