Ebb & Flow: Seascape and Shoreline Views Through November 12, 2017 Dive right in to this exhibition! The sea has a long history in art, capturing the imagination of artists since the 17th century.

It will get your students looking at water in new and exciting ways!

WHAT’S UP? EXHIBITIONS 2017-2018

Long Island’s Best Young Artists at The Heckscher Museum March 17 – April 15, 2018 Don’t miss the chance to see this exhibit of extraordinary art created by young artists in the Long Island community. Each year, this exhibit challenges students in grades 9 through 12 to choose a work of art in the Museum as the starting point for their own creative exploration.

Hundreds of students submit artwork for jurying, with approximately 80 selected for display.

Heavy Metal: Photographs by Jan Staller April 21 – July 29, 2018 Jan Staller’s breathtaking, large-scale photographs give ordinary building materials and machine parts the feeling of Surrealist sculptures that have fallen from outer space. Students are immersed in rich and intense color, shape, and pattern in this exhibition featuring photographs and a three-channel video installation by the contemporary artist.

At its core, art is about the element of space. Every artist wrestles with the viewer’s understanding and perceptions of space and surface—regardless of whether they are painting a representational scene, creating an abstract composition, working three-dimensionally, or suggesting depth in a two-dimensional piece. Students explore a broad array of styles and subjects as they learn the many ways artists in the 1900s embraced, fought, and ultimately redefined the concepts of space and surface in art.

The Age of Tiffany: Between Nouveau and Deco April 21 - July 22, 2018 The worlds of form and function collide in this decorative arts exhibition! This installation of late 19th-century and early 20th-century decorative arts including Tiffany lamps, ceramics, tables, rugs, and more will transport your students back to an era when household items were an art in themselves.
