Nesto Gallery Turns 50
Our community celebrates a half century of fine art on the Milton Academy campus with the 50th anniversary of the Nesto Gallery!
The Nesto opened on January 10, 1975, and has since brought scores of professional artists from New England and beyond to the gallery, offering the community access to accomplished works of painting, photography, sculpture, and much more. The gallery’s presence on campus also enriches Milton’s visual arts program, giving students opportunities to meet and learn from a diverse range of talented creators.
This year’s gallery schedule culminates in a special event involving all of the gallery directors and chairs since Nesto opened. Past directors will curate an exhibition, which opens with a reception on April 24 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The 50 Years of the Nesto Gallery exhibition will remain open until Reunion weekend and close with a reception on June 14 from 1:30 to 3 p.m.
Milton Senior Appointed to Juvenile Justice Committee
As a 10-year-old with the dream of serving on the nation’s highest court, Edna Etienne-Dupie ’25 caught the attention of some high-profile Massachusetts lawmakers. She delivered a speech at a campaign event for former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, and was soon invited to speak at Walsh’s inauguration.
“I mainly talked about the importance of voting and spoke about how I wanted to be a United States Supreme Court justice,” Edna said. “I have no idea if that’s my career plan now, but I’ll think about it. The clerk of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC), Maura Doyle, was watching, and after I spoke, she invited me to intern there for two weeks. It was absolutely incredible. I loved it.”
And so Edna’s public-service career began—before she started middle school. Today, as a high school senior, she is a member of a state advisory board aiming to help some of the most at-risk young people in Massachusetts.
