What is home? Exploring the spaces we inhabit, this exhibition of more than 50 artworks from the Museum’s Collection reflects the many meanings of home. The house is a site where daily life unfolds, work takes place, identities cohere and shift, memories form, and imagination takes flight. In light of the momentous events of recent years—including the pandemic, changes in the housing market, and the refugee crisis caused by the invasion of Ukraine—we all relate to these views of home in new and changing ways.

This exhibition will explore the varying degrees of humans’ impact on nature and photographers’ rich and varied responses. The photographs on view offer a closer look at how human activity has shaped nature – from harnessing its power for human use, to conservation and climate change. Newly acquired photographs by Kenji Nakahashi, as well as works by Berenice Abbott, Neil Scholl, Barbara Roux, William Eggleston, and Jay Jaffee, among others, will be featured. This exhibition is guest curated by Susan Van Scoy, Ph.D., Professor of Art History, St. Joseph’s College.

Don’t miss the chance to see this exhibition of extraordinary art created by high school students from across Long Island! Each year, this exhibit challenges students to choose a work of art in the Museum as the starting point for their own creative exploration. Hundreds of students submit artwork in a broad range of subjects, styles, media, and techniques, with approximately 80 selected for display in the exhibition.

This exhibition features the work of Courtney M. Leonard, a contemporary multimedia artist and a member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation. In installations that include ceramic sculptures, paintings, and videos, she addresses the environmental crisis, including issues related to water and to whale sustainability. Leonard’s work responds to the history of Long Island and engages with the concerns of our time while bringing together artistic traditions from diverse cultures and time periods
