The Heckscher Museum of Art presents Robert Graham Carter: The Art of Reflection
2025-02-22 12:00 - 2025-06-14 17:00 (America/New_York) | Heckscher Museum of Art, 2 Prime Avenue, Huntington, NY, 11743, United States
Robert Graham Carter (American, b. 1938) is a visual artist best known for his mixed-media works including commanding drawings; sculptural, high-relief paintings; and whimsical works on wood. Carter’s figurative compositions routinely speak to systemic societal issues with a specificity derived from his lived experiences. Created over the last sixty years drawing influence from his upbringing in the Jim Crow South, Robert’s figurative compositions balance personal and universal truths, with a focus on topics pertinent to the African-American condition: the joy and importance of family, the legacy of segregation, the charm of childhood, the spiritual and corporal force that is the Black church, and the impression of Blackface on American culture. This 2025 presentation explores his studio practice and his unique painterly voice as it traces overarching impactful themes from his lifelong career.
Conceived in direct collaboration with the artist, this exhibition is curated by Sarah Battle, associate projects manager of academic programs and publications, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, with support from Camille Pratt, artist, and digitization specialist, Digital Transitions-Pixel Acuity.

The Long Island Maritime Museum (LIMM) - Call to Artists!
2025-05-20 10:00 - 2025-07-31 16:00 | The Long Island Martitime Museum, 88 West Ave, West Sayville, 11796, United States
The Long Island Maritime Museum (LIMM) is inviting local artists to share their creative talents for an art auction with a local cause! We are raising funds for the 2024/2025 restoration of a National Historic Landmark, Priscilla, an 1888 oyster sloop and the oldest and only sailing workboat to survive from the Great South Bay oyster fleet. Each winter, Priscilla is lovingly maintained by her crew and shipwrights, receiving fresh paint and light repair work. Every 20 years, she requires a more intensive restoration. Beginning in October of 2024, work began to replace her deck, mast, and to refasten her hull—work required to maintain her Coast Guard certification. While the Museum has raised a significant amount of funding towards the required work, there is still more needed to reach our goal and to keep this treasure available for the public to enjoy.
The wooden mast that’s being replaced has been carefully cut into beautiful cross-sections, or slices. Artist volunteers are invited to use these slices to create a piece of maritime-themed artwork. The slices are still available for pickup at the LIMM, Mondays through Fridays, 10 AM – 4 PM.
If you are interested in participating but can’t pick up a slice during weekday hours (M-F, 10-4), call us to explore other options!
Finished pieces can be dropped off to the museum no later than Thursday, 7/31.
Details regarding the exhibit opening and auction will be announced.

Bayard Cutting Arboretum presents Life Validated and Unveiled ~ A Solo Exhibition of Photography by Pamela Waldroup
2025-06-05 08:00 - 2025-06-29 17:00 | Bayard Cutting Arboretum, 440 Montauk Hwy, Great River, NY, 11739, United States
LIFE VALIDATED and UNVEILED~ A Solo Exhibition of Photography by Pamela Waldroup
• ARTIST RECEPTION: Sunday, June 8th from 1-4pm
40+ photographs from 4 related series will be on exhibit.
Organic Reactions ~ Hostas
Architectural Perspectives ~ Interior Photographs, Manor House Bayard Cutting Arboretum
Vegetal Structures
Conversations Among the Trees
As a fine art photographer, my camera gives me the ability to reveal to others the details I find in everyday subjects that often go unobserved. The black & white and color photographs on exhibit in Life Validated and Unveiled” voice my strong desire to capture interactions between organic and architectural elements through a geometric approach found in the repetitive patterns and shapes frequently appearing in my images. Exaggerated angles of view and juxtaposition of serendipitously placed elements combine with moody, sometimes dramatic light to leave the viewer with a sense of a presence unseen but felt.
My photography is about hyper-focusing on the subject to validate my own experience and provoke a memory, real or imagined, to surface both for the viewer and me. The absence of color allows the viewer to become immersed in the place, mood and time depicted but leaves room for personal interpretation and imagination as well. In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
• ORGANIC REACTIONS SERIES ~ Hosta
Organic Reactions is inspired by the desire to connect my photographic work to being more mindful during any given moment. Enhancing the deep folds and rhythmic crevices captured in my black and white images creates a flow of movement throughout the pieces that invites the viewer and me to hyper-focus on the subject. As Vincent Van Gogh stated, ” I believe that one thinks much more soundly if the thoughts arise from direct contact with things, than if one looks at things with the aim of finding this or that in them.”
• CONVERSATIONS AMONG THE TREES
Actively conversing with these bold, contrasty photographs of trees initially takes on the fervor of an unbridled stream of consciousness. I vividly remember each location, the sounds, the light, the feeling of the air. countless conversations, and all are safely stored as muscle memories. Simultaneously, mindfulness kicks in. My brain is flooded with the same calm presence I felt while listening to the conversations among the trees. All stress and projections about what should be, has been or will be, vanishes.
Conversations Among the Trees is a visual validation of these inner dialogues shared with the intention that viewers may find or rekindle their own sanctuary.
• VEGETAL STRUCTURES
Vegetal structures, plants of every kind, offer a welcome respite from the chaotic pace of everyday life. There is a truth in nature that surfaces on its own. My camera allows me to connect to that truth by unearthing details that may have otherwise been overlooked. I shoot what I am passionate about: texture, form, dark shadows and patterns created by light and dramatic contrast. Enhancing the contour lines and dark values formed by crisp edges juxtaposed against deep recesses creates a sense of dancing delicacy and solid foundation simultaneously and provides the perfect opportunity to fully absorb every fascinating detail unfolding in front of me. Obsessed by architectural form within an organic composition, I hyper focus on the subject to validate my own experience with the intention to inspire a powerful response to emerge for the viewer as well.
• ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVES ~ Interior Photographs, Manor House Bayard Cutting Arboretum
While visiting the Manor House, I was captivated by the rich contrasts in the beautiful wood tones that define the interior spaces beautifully illuminated by light that embraces an old-world ambience. The psychological effect of dramatically changing perspectives was one of inhabiting a space with a powerful presence that simultaneously transported me back in time.

TRIPARTITE featuring Member Artist Howie Pohl
2025-07-11 09:00 - 2025-08-13 16:30 | Shelter Rock Gallery at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock, 48 Shelter Rock Road, Manhasset, NY, 11030, United States
How do separate works join together to make a work of art? Can three works serve to create an artistic statement? Are three photographs of a similar subject or theme superior to one strong photo? Is three better than one, or two, or four?
Members of the Long Island Center of Photography (LICP) attempt to answer this question by exhibiting three works that complement each other. How the photographs work together (or oppose each other) reveals the artist’s creative thought.
Artists of the Middle Ages employed the triptych to tell stories. Composed of a large central panel and two smaller ones painted on the inside like folding doors, the three panels of the triptych reflect the three individuals of the Christian Holy Trinity. LICP artists update these concepts to modern times and beyond in TRIPARTITE, a display of three photographs that reveal a higher aesthetic truth. The photographers can divine the concept of “three” as they wish – as a triptych, as photos of three objects, or of subjects that come in threes, or even photographs that complement each other as a set of three.
RECEPTION: SUNDAY, JULY 20, 2:00 – 5:00 PM
