Youthful energy paired with remarkable talent fills the Museum galleries with over 80 high school student works of art. Now in its 20th consecutive year, Long Island’s Best continues to challenge high school students from across Nassau and Suffolk Counties to professionally push their creative potential.
The annual Long Island’s Best juried exhibition is a longstanding hallmark of the Museum’s educational programs, in which students are able to further connect their experiences in the Museum to their art making in the classroom. The young artists featured in Long Island’s Best visited the Museum with their teachers during the school year to explore and interact with original works of art. This juried exhibition is the only one of its kind on Long Island that provides select students with the unparalleled opportunity to exhibit their artwork in a museum. The quality of the artwork is exceptional and delivers a professional-level show.
