The open-ended umbrella theme of Passion Engine encompasses the breadth of the work produced by the New England School of Art & Design full-time faculty. Included in the exhibition are drawings, paintings, sculpture, and designs by this group of faculty artists. The relationship to their respective practices is essential to their interest in and ability to nurture and guide students. The participants’ work is tied to their passion, which guides their teaching as well as demonstrating their relationship to each other as colleagues, both on and off campus. In this way they all make an important contribution to Suffolk University as a whole.
