Open Today, 12 – 5 pm. Reservations recommended.
Now in its 7th edition, the Long Island Biennial is a juried exhibition that fosters deeper connections between contemporary artists from Nassau and Suffolk Counties and the communities in which they live and work. Created in the last two years, the works that will be on view represent a vital cross-section of Long Island’s contemporary art. Contemporary art has been essential to The Heckscher Museum of Art since its founding in 1920. We remain committed to sharing inspiring and thought-provoking new art with our visitors.
The 2022 Long Island Biennial features artwork by 57 contemporary artists from across Nassau & Suffolk counties. 723 artwork entries were received, with 95 selected for exhibition representing artists living in communities stretching from Lynbrook to East Hampton. This year’s exhibition was juried by Dr. Susan Van Scoy, Professor of Art History at St. Joseph’s University; Heather Carter, art advisor at Carter Fine Art Services; and Gabriela Gonzalez Dellosso, contemporary fine artist.

Join Heckscher Museum CEO Heather Arnet for an intimate zoom panel conversation regarding the role the arts can play in engaging the community in the most important topics of the day. Joining Arnet are artists Cheryl McBride and Brianna Hernández Baurichter, whose works are included in the 2022 Long Island Biennial, and Nia Adams, Community Organizer for Long Island Progressive Coalition. Much of the artwork in this year’s Biennial responds to our current moment and concerns related to social inequities, racial justice, mental and physical health, the pandemic, and climate change. The panel discusses how artists are addressing these important topics in their work, and how each of us can connect with local resources and community organizations to support positive change in our communities.
