The Castle Gallery at CNR Marks 25th Anniversary
with Reception at Main Campus

On Saturday, May 20, 2006, more than 150 people came together at The College of New Rochelle’s Main Campus to mark the 25th Anniversary of the Castle Gallery. Since 1980, the Castle Gallery has been an outstanding cultural and educational resource for thousands of residents throughout metro-NY.  In attendance were former and current members of the Gallery’s board of trustees, supporters from years past, and three gallery directors.  New Rochelle City Councilman Michael Boyle and NY State Assemblyman George Latimer were on hand to present proclamations marking May 20 as Castle Gallery Day in New Rochelle.
