2019 MEMORIAL DAY EVENTS AROUND TOWN
Town fireworks set for Saturday The Memorial Day Fireworks and Commemoration Ceremony will be held at North Hempstead Beach Park on Saturday, May 25 at 6 p.m. Fireworks will begin at 9:15 p.m. This year’s ceremony will feature a fireworks display by Santore Fireworks, musical entertainment from Beginnings, a Chicago tribute band, and The LPs playing songs from the 70’s and 80’s. After the fireworks, there will be music provided by a DJ. During the ceremony, Margaret Harper from Schreiber High School will sing the National Anthem and Cub Scouts from Albertson Pack 201 will perform the Pledge of Allegiance. Scenic North Hempstead Beach Park offers a boardwalk along the water and picnic areas so visitors can enjoy a start to the summer season. “Each year this tradition gives all of us as a community the opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by those in the armed forces who died for our freedom,” said Supervisor Judy Bosworth. “The fireworks display will be a fitting tribute to all of these heroes and also provides meaningful time with our friends and families.” The event is free, but vehicles will be charged a $10 parking fee. When the lot is full, free overflow parking will be available with free shuttle bus transportation. The Town is pleased to once again offer free parking for veterans and active duty military. Parking passes will be available at various facilities through-
out the Town with a proof of ID. “Offering a free parking pass for the Memorial Day Commemoration event is the very least we can do to acknowledge the tremendous sacrifice these men and women have made for our country,” said Bosworth. “We hope that all veterans and members of the military will stop by the park office to get their free parking pass prior to the event.” The free parking passes for active military members and veterans will be issued now at the following locations: Clinton G. Martin Park – 1601 Marcus Avenue, New Hyde Park Office of the Town Clerk – 200 Plandome Road, Manhasset North Hempstead “Yes We Can” Community Center – 141 Garden Street, Westbury Michael J. Tully Park – 1801 Evergreen Avenue, New Hyde Park Qualifying residents will need to show their government-issued VA card or an active military ID. This parking pass applies only when the main lot at North Hempstead Beach Park is still open. When the lot is full, overflow parking is available for free with shuttle bus transportation. Can’t make it to the event? This year, the Town will be live-streaming the fireworks show, beginning at 9 p.m., on the Town of North Hempstead’s Facebook page located at www. facebook.com/townofnorthhempstead. For more information, visit www. northhempsteadny.gov or call 311 or 516-869-6311.
Museum to observe D-Day anniversary Surrounded by the weapons and operational armor of the era, The Museum of American Armor will conduct ceremonies on June 6 at 12 p.m., marking the 75th anniversary of D-Day, where interdenominational prayers will be offered for the thousands of Allied lives lost that day storming the Normandy beaches. Former Congressman and historian Steve Israel will provide an historic perspective and Armor Museum leadership will challenge the region’s educators to provide additional classroom time to the study the legacy of World War II and its impact on our 21st Century world. The public is invited to attend the ceremony. The museum features many of the operational tanks and artillery that came ashore that June morning in 1944 to confront the Nazi Third Reich. Throughout the year it creates a variety of realistic tactical scenarios in cooperation for the purpose of keeping alive the heritage of those Americans who have defended our freedoms. The Museum of American Armor is at 1303 Round Swamp Road in Old Bethpage. More Memorial Day Events on Pages 69, 70

Impressionism in a new light PHOTOS COURTESY OF WWW.HECKSCHER.ORG
Childe Hassam (American, 1859-1935) Old House, East Hampton, 1917. Bank of America Collection 11251 BY G R AC E M CQ UA D E “Art, to me, is the interpretation of the impression which nature makes upon the eye and brain,” American Impressionist painter Childe Hassam once said, adding that “true Impressionism is realism.” Hassam, who was instrumental in spreading Impressionism in America during the early part of the 20th century, is one of more than 50 artists included in the exhibition, In a New Light: American Impressionism 1870-1940, Works from the Bank of America Collection, on view from May 25 to Aug. 18. The exhibit is part of Bank of America’s Art in Our Communities program, the company’s ongoing effort to support the arts and bring them to local communities. “The exhibitions are organized from the company’s extensive corporate art collection and they lend these exhibitions out to museums and nonprofit galleries worldwide,” said Kerrilyn Blee, curatorial assistant at the Heckscher Museum, during a recent phone interview. “It’s a big program for them, and we’re excited to be a part of it.” Of the 130 artworks that were included in the original show, Heckscher will have 61 pieces in their exhibition that will be displayed throughout the museum. “We have four galleries in the museum. This show is going to take up three and that’s only because it comes in such large crates that we have to use one of our galleries for storage,” Blee said. “It’s going to be the only show in the museum at the time, which we haven’t done in over 10 years… We’re really excited to have it as our main attraction.” As visitors enter the museum, Blee says they will see two exhibit artworks in the lobby, Charles Adams Platt’s landscape painting, “Orchard, East Hampton,” and Lawton Silas Parker’s portrait, “First Born.” “The exhibition is designed to follow the develop-
Ernest Lawson (American, b. Canada, 1873-1939) Connecticut Trout Stream, c. 1920 Bank of America Collection 10072 ment of Impressionism in the United States,” Blee said. “So in the south gallery, where the exhibition begins, we start with the Hudson River School and Tonalist works. In the north galleries are the majority of the Impressionist works by artists from art colonies and locales across the country, presenting their diverse interests and varied interpretations of Impressionism in urban, maritime and rural settings in America.” While explaining this artistic evolution, Blee said that the Hudson River School wasn’t actually a school, but a group of artists, mainly based in New York City, who travelled throughout the Hudson River Valley, creating on-the-spot sketches. “They would take these sketches back home and make these idealized, majestic landscapes,” she said.
“Whereas when American Impressionism came about it was much more realistic, much more capturing the landscape in the moment… (It) was a reaction to the Hudson River School, kind of like going against it… The artists who were interested in Impressionism wanted to do something different.” Blee went on to describe how many of these artists traveled to Europe to learn from the French Impressionists. Although American collectors initially rejected this art form, they eventually came to appreciate how American Impressionists depicted local landscapes and architecture. “The exhibit shows how American Impressionism differs from French Impressionism because it was uniquely American,” Blee said. “Although they were similarly interested in capturing specific moments in time and scenes of everyday life as the French Impressionists were, they wanted to alternatively capture places that communicated a sense of national identity.” One example in the exhibition is Colin Campbell Cooper’s “West Front of the Capitol Steps, Washington, D.C.,” which Blee says exemplifies “that sense of nationalism and pride.” The exhibit includes another locally-inspired painting, Hassam’s “Old House, East Hampton,” Long Island artist Thomas Moran’s “View of Fairmount Waterworks, Philadelphia,” and other works derived from artist colonies that formed in Connecticut, Massachusetts and throughout New England during this time. Long Island’s main artist colony back then was in Shinnecock. “That’s where a lot of the artists, including Hassam, traveled back and forth to,” Blee said. “They all wanted to experience the different landscapes so it was very common for them to travel to the different art colonies on the east coast.” Continued on Page 64

Impressionism shown ‘in a new light’ Continued from Page 27 In addition to American Impressionists, contemporary Long Island artists will get to showcase works in the exhibition. The North Country Garden Club in Locust Valley and Three Harbors Garden Club in Cold Spring Harbor will create 10 floral designs inspired by the exhibit’s artworks, launching Art in Bloom: Nature and Art Beautifully Combined, on Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9. Each floral arrangement will be displayed on a 36-inchhigh pedestal near the painting that served as its inspira-
tion. “We’re really excited to see what they come up with,” Blee said. Garden club docents will be in the galleries on these days, from 1 to 3 p.m., to discuss the arrangements and design process. On the 9th, from 2 to 2:30 p.m., visitors can watch floral design come to life as new members and volunteers from each garden club participate in a challenge class to create two original designs inspired by the identical flowers and materials they receive at the start time. Blee says the half-hour challenge, similar to a cook-off competition, will be fun and
interactive. The final arrangements will be raffled off to two lucky visitors to take home. Pamela Sherlock, president of the Three Harbors Garden Club, is pleased to participate in the inaugural Art in Bloom. “We really see this as a special opportunity, obviously to support Heckscher and introduce members to this local gem that we have, while educating and challenging ourselves,” she said. Each garden club will create five designs — four of their own choosing and one selected by the museum — drawing from 10 paintings in the ex-

hibit. “For all the designers, it’s the best you can hope for in terms of the type of artwork to inspire us so we’re really excited,” Sherlock said. The Three Harbors Garden Club will take a team approach in the creation of their five pieces. “We have five lead designers, one for each of the paintings,” Sherlock said, but “we’re bringing in other members who are new to exhibiting so they can be a part of the process as we create our designs.” Group input is important to Sherlock because, she said, “Most of us have exhibited maybe at a club show, or maybe through GCA shows or through events at our churches, but this will be the first time in a museum so we’re really challenging ourselves to take this to the next level.” Sherlock said there will be a range in their fresh and dried materials, “whether they be flowers that are cut from the garden in June or exotics,” as well in their designs. “To give you an idea, we’ll have some that will interpret urban states,” she said, referencing Theresa Bernstein’s “Armistice Day, The New York Public Library.” “As you can imagine, that might be very different from ‘Snow’s Freedom’ by Antonio Cirino, which is a very woodsy, river brook natural landscape interpretation.” Jane White, the floral design chair for North Country Garden Club, said that their five arrangements, each with two designers, will also vary depending on the artwork and artists’ inspirations. “For instance, in the ‘Green Mansions’ painting by Daniel Garber, the designers have
looked at this in kind of that ‘Great Gatsby’ feeling of an ornate vintage container with bursts of greenery on top,” she said. In “Connecticut Trout Stream” by Ernest Lawson, White said their artists’ intent is to “reflect the stream with strong white snow star masterwort, a type of flower, in the center of the design,” along with “blue thistle, japonica greens, Devil’s Blush and yellow Gerber daisies to reflect the warm yellows and reds and cool greens and blues of the woods.” White is particularly excited about interpreting Gifford Beal’s “Garden Beach,” “which is just a profusion of colors,” she says. “I think the designers are going to use lines, shapes, patterns, positive and negative spaces to interpret the colorful impact of that painting.” When discussing their design plans, both Sherlock and White drew parallels between the artistic endeavors of painting and floral design. White said the question that keeps coming up on her end is whether it’s more challenging to draw inspiration from another’s work or create something freestyle, perhaps an age-old debate amongst artists. For Sherlock, it’s the recognition that when it comes to art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and its lasting “impression.” For more information about In a New Light and Art in Bloom, contact the Heckscher Museum at 631-351-3213 or go to www.heckscher.org.

PHOTOS BY KAREN RUBIN
Bethpage Federal Credit Union and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are pleased to announce the final lineup and all show details for the 16th Annual Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach. This year’s show will take place Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The final lineup for the show includes show headliners the United States Air Force Thunderbirds returning to the Bethpage Air Show for their seventh appearance, the United States Army Golden Knights Parachute Team performing in their 14thBethpage Air Show, and the U.S. Navy F-18 Super Hornet. Other exciting civilian performers at this year’s Bethpage Air Show include the legendary air show pilot Sean Tucker performing for the first time with Jessy Panzer for Team Oracle, extraordinary aerobatic pilot Matt Chapman, the John Klatt Airshows – Jack Links’ Screamin’ Sasquatch Jet Waco Aerobatic Team, the world famous GEICO Skytypers and their flight squadron of six vintage World War II aircraft, the American Airpower Museum Warbirds, Long Island’s own David Windmiller, the B17 Yankee Lady, the Red Bull Aerobatic Helicopter & Red Bull Air Force, and the SUNY Farmingdale State College Flying Rams who will fly seven of their 22 college-owned aircraft in a fly-by piloted by their top academic professional pilot performers.

During the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds’ most recent headlining appearance in 2017, over 347,000 attended the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach. “We are thrilled to welcome back the United States Air Force Thunderbirds to Long Island. This year we will be celebrating our 16th anniversary. Since the show began in 2004, millions of air show enthusiasts have traveled near and far to help celebrate our nation’s military and the Memorial Day holiday weekend. We look forward to another spectacular show this May,” said George Gorman the deputy regional director of the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. “Last year, the Bethpage Air Show was named one of the most respected air shows in the country and this year again, will be included among the best in the U.S.,” said Linda Armyn, senior vice president of corporate affairs for Bethpage Credit Union. “If you haven’t gotten to see the show yet, I strongly encourage you to go! It’s a remarkable show and a wonderful beach event to spend with family and friends on Memorial Day Weekend.” The Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach is sponsored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Newsday, WABC-TV Channel 7, PSEG Long Island, Natural Heritage Trust and Connoisseur Media Long Island.
