New Frontiers in Art

The New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts (NHBCA) and the Institute of Art & Design at New England College (IAD-NEC) in Manchester are collaborating to produce an augmented reality exhibition in the NHBCA’s App AR+ art.  As part of a grant provided by TD Charitable Foundation, the nonprofit NHBCA is partnering with the IAD-NEC to produce an augmented reality experience that highlights the school’s art programs and students’ original artwork in a virtual gallery. The exhibition titled New Frontiers in Art considers the intrinsic value of the arts in communicating our most basic human experiences and innovative ideas. The artwork often speaks to how the world is changing – socially, environmentally, geopolitically, and technologically. 

In this augmented reality exhibition, the NHBCA’s App developers create 3-D digital models of original artworks created by IAD-NEC students, alumni and faculty then rendered them in augmented reality. The production comes together in the NHBCA AR+ art App which allows people of all ages and backgrounds to interact with the art on mobile devices.Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
