250 Years of Art on Long Island

In celebration of the United States’ 250th Anniversary, this landmark exhibition explores how Long Island has reflected and helped to shape the story of American art; it highlights the region’s enduring influence and rich artistic legacy.

Chief Curator Franklin Hill Perrell discusses the exhibition on Sunday, April 12 at 3 pm. See the full list of Spring Programs and Events on our new website. 

Influence and Identity | Twentieth Century Portrait Photography
from the Bank of America Collection

This exhibition explores how twentieth-century photographers captured the power and personality of the modern era and it examines the interplay between photographer, subject, and viewer in shaping cultural identity and celebrity.

Profiles in Color: Andres Valencia

In this young artist’s (b.2011) painterly universe, bold color and fractured anatomy collide with playful distortion and sharp line, yielding images that feel both indebted to art history and defiantly new.

National Pastime: The Baseball Show
 

This exhibition celebrates the history, legacy, and cultural impact of one of America’s favorite pastimes through one of the nation’s most important privately held collections of authentic game-used memorabilia and several significant paintings that capture the sport. 

Artist-in-Residence: Glen Hansen

NCMA proudly welcomes renowned photorealist painter Glen Hansen as the second artist in the residency program developed by Board of Trustees President Todd Cohen. From his dedicated studio in the Manes Art Education Center, Glen will host studio visits and educational programs while creating new works employing his exquisitely refined technique.

About the Museum

Located in an authentic Gold Coast mansion on the former Frick family estate, the Nassau County Museum of Art presents multiple fine art exhibitions and related public and educational programs each year.  The property features a sculpture garden with 44 major works on view, formal gardens, a century-old pinetum, and miles of wooded trails on the 145-acre preserve. Also on the estate is the Manes Art Education Center, which offers year-round classes and seasonal events for all ages and abilities and hosts an Artist-in-Residence program.
