We believe there is a vital need for public spaces to showcase local artists. Presenting the artwork of children is one way to encourage them to value and participate in the visual arts. The Community Gallery is where stories that live within our community are shared with our visitors, using artistic expression as the communication tool.
Each month, a different project is featured in our Community Gallery on the second floor of the Museum.
What You Learn in the Community Gallery:
- Expression of emotions, beauty and beliefs
- Creativity
- Individuality
- Perspectives
Some Past Projects
The Veterans Portrait Project 2022: Under the guidance of Art Teacher Maria Murphy, Veterans posed for a sketching session with 8th graders from Notre Dame School in New Hyde Park. The students translated their sketches into watercolor portraits.
Children's View of the Beauty of the Earth, 2022. Children chose endangered animals to paint and bring awareness of their situation. LISMA ART, Instructors Hyunji Kim and Molly Ventura.
Uniondale School District students of all ages, December 2022. While creativity, imagination and S.T.E.A.M. principles are at the basis of these pieces, these works are also a celebration of the artistic excellence of the students in our community..
Continue the Fun at Home
Make your own community gallery on a wall of your home or on the refrigerator door, inviting friends and family to express their ideas through art.
Choose a theme: color, lines, texture, backgrounds, subject matter, technique. Then work with your child to curate their year. Choose five or six pieces to display.
New to the world of art? We have plenty of techniques for talking to your kids about art.
Thank you!
The LICM Community Gallery is supported by the generosity of PSEG Long Island.
