Title: Origin and Echo

To the editor:

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Northport Arts Association for opening their space to Origin and Echo, and for embracing the spirit of collaboration that brought this show to life. This exhibit wasn’t just about art—it was about connection, growth, and the incredible power of community.

A special thank you to Elizabeth Schwind and Heidi Hammond in the Northport Public School office for helping collect student work and supporting the behind-the-scenes logistics that are so often invisible but absolutely essential. Thank you also to Meg Jean from Lift, who stepped in without hesitation to help transport the work on Monday. Your willingness to jump in made all the difference.
