Youth Ambassadors Inspired by “Long Island’s Best 2022”

The Heckscher Museum Youth Ambassadors, a program for students in grades 5 to 9, discuss their favorite artwork from Long Island’s Best 2022 in these new videos. Students visited the Museum for several trainings and learned about the Long Island’s Best 2022 exhibition. They then each chose their favorite work of art and wrote a script. After practicing, they created short videos about their artwork and why they would vote for it for the Visitors Choice Awards.
