Dear Museum Friends,
NCMA is budding everywhere now – across the 145-acre preserve and inside the museum’s historic mansion and the bustling Manes Center for Art Education. It’s a wonderful time to enjoy all that is happening at the Frick Gold Coast estate. Scroll below and click through to nassaucounty.org for details and registration.
Let’s start with the exhibitions running now…

Deco at 100 is a marvelous view of a century of Art Deco’s extraordinary style in decorative arts, fashion, architecture, and more. The exhibition of almost 200 works is accompanied by informative lectures on Sunday afternoons – and fantastic Docent-led tours at 2 pm daily. Deco at 100 is made possible by the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation of NY.

The Manes Center is busier than ever with a multitude of studio classes and workshops. Family Saturdays bring out fun intergenerational creativity. Soon, we will launch pilot workshops for a brand new educational series: afterschool art and nature programs, which are so healthful and inspiring for children.

I hope you will accept our invitations to visit, tour, register, attend, join – and celebrate the steady evolution of this unique site. Your support helps the museum in every facet of work – from world class exhibitions, public and educational programs, and special events to the care and conservation of this beautiful, expansive property with our formal garden, sculpture garden, pinetum, wooded hiking trails and so much more. Venture our way in this lovely time of year.
Best wishes this Spring and always,
