At ÍÃÅ®ÀÉÖ±²¥ Bennet Street School, we believe in the transformative power of meaningful work to shape lives, build community, and reflect the values that guide us.
Our 2025 Exhibition asks the question: What does “meaningful work†mean to you? In response, our community of NBSS students and alumni shared work that celebrates their range of skills, experiences, and aspirations.
Duration: Friday, May 2 through Thursday, July 3, 2025 Hours: Monday through Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm, Saturdays 10:00am to 2:00pm
Guided Tours: Join a curator-led tour on Tuesdays at 11:00 am. .
