High School Juried Exhibition
Guidelines 2019-2020 The only juried exhibition on Long Island that offers high school students the opportunity to show their work in a museum! Join us as Long Island’s Best celebrates 24 years and The Heckscher Museum marks its 100th anniversary in 2020! Students in grades 9 through 12 are invited to create a work of art inspired by artwork shown in the Museum during the 2019-2020 school year and submit to this juried exhibition! Hundreds of works of art are submitted and 100 will be chosen in honor of our 100th anniversary. Karli Wurzelbacher, Heckscher Museum Curator, and guest juror Nancy Richner, retired Executive Director of the Hofstra University Museum of Art, will jury the 2020 exhibition. Prizes will be awarded in numerous categories at the Opening Reception. All exhibiting artists and their teachers will receive full-color catalogues featuring every student artwork in the exhibition.
All submitted artwork is featured in a DIGITAL DISPLAY! In recognition of the hard work and exceptional talent of all students who submit artwork, images of submissions that are not selected for exhibition are shown in a digital display (See inside for details.)
