MOVING FORWARD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY
Dear Friends,
For The Heckscher Museum of Art community, spring brings beautiful tulips to Heckscher Park, and extraordinary student artwork to the Museum through Long Island’s Best. Our signature juried exhibition, featuring the work of high school students, creates an exciting and creative space for these young people to share their art and their dreams. For many of these same students, the Heckscher is the first museum they visited in elementary school, and the inspiration for the work they are doing now in high school. Their artistic work demonstrates great curiosity, craft, thoughtfulness and engagement with the world. You won’t want to miss it.
The educational work we do is one way we bring community together. The Museum recently co-hosted our first inter-faith Ramadan Iftar dinner with Empowered Muslim Women of New York. The beautiful community gathering of nearly one hundred individuals, came together over a meal, in peace and prayer, to celebrate
our shared humanity surrounded by the inspiring spiritual art of Robert Graham Carter.
This summer we will participate in community celebrations of Long Island Pride; Juneteenth; and the Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as we look forward to the June opening of All of Me With All of You: LGBTQ+ Art Out of the Collection, an expansive summer show. This groundbreaking exhibition is being developed by guest curator Victoria Munro, with input from an intergenerational advisory group, teen community members, and local non-profit partners and will include 150 years worth of important works and artists held in the Heckscher Museum collection.
The Heckscher Museum of Art gratefully serves as a forum for community where sharing and educating leads to better understanding and empathy. Our mission is to create opportunities for everyone to experience art that broadens understanding of the past, fosters community connections to the present, and creates diverse possibilities for the future.
We could not continue to pursue this mission without the support of each of you. This issue includes heartfelt thanks to the scores of members, sponsors, and donors that continue to make our mission a reality. We work tirelessly every day to ensure that all people have access to the arts and feel safe and welcome in our galleries. Thank you for being partners with us in these efforts.

ALL OF ME WITH ALL OF YOU:
LGBTQ+ ART OUT OF THE COLLECTION
JUNE 7 - SEPTEMBER 14
Sponsors: Michelle Hatzopoulos & Evangeline Knell; Andrea & Neil Kreinik; Alicia L. Ruberti & Kathryn Kroleski; LGBT Network
This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
For the first time, The Heckscher Museum of Art is exploring its collection through the lens of LGBTQ+ identities and histories. Spanning more than 150 years, the exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, and works on paper. Victoria Munro, Executive Director of the Alice Austen House, is guest curator of the show.
Artists who lived and worked on Long Island will anchor All of Me with All of You: LGBTQ+ Art Out of the Collection. Six photographs taken on Fire Island by the collective PaJaMa (Paul Cadmus, Jared French, and Margaret French) express the artistic and personal
freedoms that LGBTQ+ communities nurtured on Long Island in the first half of the twentieth century. Photographs by Huntington artist Joanne Mulberg capture the spirit of Fire Island in the 1970s and 1980s. Artworks by internationally significant figures including Marsden Hartley, Alfonso Ossorio, Betty Parsons, Alice Rahon, Robert Rauschenberg, and Emilio Sanchez are also featured, alongside new acquisitions by Amy Adler, Laylah Ali, vanessa german, and Wardell Milan, among others.
This project is made possible with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. With this generous support, the Museum will engage youth and intergenerational community members in a robust year of exhibitions and public programming highlighting and celebrating works, histories, and legacies of LGBTQ+ artists in our permanent collection.
Clockwise from top, Laylah Ali, Untitled, 2004, Gouache on paper. Gift from the Collection of Ninah and Michael Lynne; Emilio Sanchez, Untitled, Bronx Multi-Colored Storefronts, late 1980s, Oil on canvas. Gift of the Emilio Sanchez Foundation; PaJaMa, Jared French, Fire Island, 1949, Vintage gelatin silver print. Museum Purchase.
