250 Years of Art on Long Island

250 Years of Art on Long Island March 21, 2026 – July 12, 2026 In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, this landmark exhibition explores how Long Island has reflected and shaped the story of American art. From Revolutionary-era portraiture and folk art to nineteenth-century landscapes, Impressionism, and the bold innovations of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, the exhibition highlights how every major art movement found expression here—from Brooklyn to Montauk, Long Island’s natural beauty, coastal light, and close connection to New York City inspired generations of artists and gave rise to thriving art colonies and postwar creative communities. Featuring paintings, decorative arts, and historical objects displayed together in immersive settings, 250 Years of Art on Long Island celebrates the region’s enduring influence and its rich artistic legacy.$15 Adults, $10 Seniors, $5 Students and Children 4yrs +
