The Board of Trustees of The Heckscher Museum and the Co-Chairs of the 2023 Celebrate Achievement Benefit are proud to recognize three remarkable individuals who exemplify the pillars of the Museum’s mission. Robert G. Carter, Susan Van Scoy, and Andrea Wozny represent the Museum’s dedication to championing the work of legacy and contemporary artists, its pursuit of original research and interpretation that explores new pathways in American art, and a commitment to educate and inspire current and future generations.

Robert G. Carter is a celebrated artist and illustrator. The dignity of the human spirit reigns within the people of Robert’s compositions, uplifted by the virtuosity of his hand and his understanding of human nature. A distinguished Adjunct Professor of Art at Nassau Community College, Robert received his MFA from the prestigious Pratt Institute of Fine Arts in New York. His work is in the permanent collections of private collectors and museums throughout the United States, including The Heckscher Museum of Art. In 1973, the Museum held a solo exhibition of Robert’s work. Most recently, he was a juror for the 2018 Long Island Biennial exhibition.
