MORE IMAGES FROM THIS SHOW

This exhibition celebrates the rich, yet often overlooked, role of Huntington and the North Shore of Long Island in American art. For more than a century, Long Island has attracted and inspired innovative artists of the highest caliber who have created groundbreaking works of enduring importance. While the art produced on Long Island’s East End has been well documented, the artistic history of Huntington and the North Shore are understood only piecemeal despite the fact that significant artists have worked here. Long Island Moderns will showcase approximately 60 paintings, sculptures, photographs, and drawings.

This exhibition is organized by Dr. Kenneth Wayne, Chief Curator of Collections and Exhibitions and Lisa Chalif, Assistant Curator.
