Art Reception for Creative Connections: Works by the North Shore Hebrew Academy at GN Library

The Great Neck Library is hosting an art exhibition during the month of May 2026 at its Main Library Lower-Level Art Gallery at 159 Bayview Avenue, Great Neck. This exhibition features artwork by students from the North Shore Hebrew Academy. Join us for an art reception on Monday, May 4, at 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

“Creative Connections” showcases the artistic voices of students in grades 1–8 at North Shore Hebrew Academy. Rooted in a well-rounded fine arts program led by Mrs. Jill Cole and Mrs. Gwynne Stein, this exhibit reflects students’ exploration of a wide range of artists, styles and medium.

Through their work, students express personal connections to Judaism and to the world around them. Pieces in the exhibit are inspired by artist studies, Jewish holidays, and both Judaic and general studies curricula, highlighting how creativity can bridge learning across disciplines.

At NSHA, the art program is designed to engage students in meaningful experiences that connect heritage, culture, and personal expression. “Creative Connections” invites the Great Neck community and beyond to experience how art serves as a powerful tool for understanding identity, strengthening values, and bringing our mission to life—encouraging students to see themselves as active participants in both the Jewish and global community.
