The Eastern Star Gallery Unveils Anniversary Show

On Wednesday, November 5, The Eastern Star Gallery opened “Archer’s 30th Anniversary Show: A Celebration of Legacy, Community, and Purpose.” This vibrant exhibition draws from the Archer archives to present a dynamic journey through the school’s rich and enduring history. Through a curated blend of rare digital and physical materials—including archival photographs, student artworks, sound installations that evoke Archer's different eras, and alumni recordings sharing personal stories and memories—the show captures Archer’s evolution and community spirit. 

Special features include a recreation of the original Eastern Star Home stained glass by Nora B. ’27, Valerie G. ’27, Alex B. ’27, and Olivia B. ’26, an installation of old uniform logos transformed by Liv K. ’26, a mini maypole made from the same type of ribbon used in all past ceremonies, and a showcase of the suit worn by Archer Co-Founder Dr. Diana Meehan when she met with the Eastern Star board members about purchasing the building.
