NSAC Student's Art Work Featured in Hometown Gallery
Although she's in her second year of the Pre-vet program
here at NSAC, Stacey McIntyre hasn't lost her love for
art. From Sept. 3-30, Stacey's artwork was featured in
Miramichi's école Carrefour Beausoleil. Below are
just a few showcases of her talent. Times and Transcript
recently wrote an article on the young artist and why she
chose NSAC over an art school. Visit timestranscript.canadaeast.com/rss/article/415177 for
